Have a Sunday Fun-day at Isla Mujeres
So, you are already spending the holidays in Playa del Carmen, your trip is almost coming to an end , you kind want to get away from everything and have a relaxing day, The Riviera Maya holds a treasure called Isla Mujeres and it’s just a ferry away from Cancun!
Isla is gaining international attention for its outstanding aquatic conditions. Clear, warm water, abundant marine life, reefs and caves, snorkeling sites are abundant. Most of Isla’s residents live from diving and fishing. They make very hospitable hosts for both day-trippers and overnight guests.
My last visit to Isla was this past Sunday, I usually try to have Sunday-Fun days! I mean I live in Playa del Carmen and my only day off is Sunday and with all the amazing things I can do in the Riviera Maya I usually do something different each Sunday, so this past one was a short trip to Isla Mujeres!
I told my friends about having a Sunday fun-day and they loved the idea!
Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women, where time passes slowly and what we only see in our dreams or postcards becomes a reality. Me and my friends went swimming with the whalesharks for only $90 USD and I can surely say it was the most amazing experience I had ever lived.
Here are my top 4 tips for a Sunday Fun-day in Isla
