Flag

In 1999, Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo started a program erecting giant flags across the country. Directed by the Secretariat of National Defense, the "banderas monumentales" (monumental flags) were placed in various cities and spots, most of which are of great significance to the nation. The decree also stipulated for the flags to measure 14.3 meters by 25 meters (47 x 82 feet), which are raised on flag poles that are 50 meters (164 feet) high.

Good Morning From Isla Mujeres Punta Sur

What a glorious morning on Paseo Punta Sur. I love the sunrises with some clouds - the interaction of the light and the clouds makes for magical moments. The light traveling millions of miles to pass through the clouds that have gathered just south of Isla from the waters of the Caribbean and they create this stunning moment. These moments last a few minutes and then another day on this tropical paradise begins. This time of year the day light is short so enjoy each precious moment. Absorb all the day has to bring.

Travelling to Mexico Was Never Easier

From Focus on Travel News


Following the tour around Mexican Caribbean we find Isla Mujeres, a place wrapped in dreams and the whimsical magic of a small fishing village. Among the unique activities offered in this charming island is the encounter with diverse natural species. Visitors can experience the thrill of swimming with nurse sharks, seals and dolphins, always under the strictest safety standards. The whale shark is another species that chooses Isla Mujeres and Holbox as their home during the summer months. Swimming with these harmless giants is an unforgettable experience for visitors.

For bird lovers, Isla Contoy is a nature reserve that allows visitors to enjoy bird watching. And to continue the marine show, a visit to Cozumel is essential. This island surrounded by the second largest barrier reef in the world features the famous statue of The Christ, which is a delight of divers. In addition to world class scuba diving, Cozumel offers attractions that visitors can not be missed, such as "El Caracol", a Mayan relic built by our ancestors to warn of hurricanes, or Chankanaab park, a nature reserve park located within the reef, where you can also swim with manatees.
