An island
that virtually uses no cars for transportation and is still able to intrigue
vacationers from all corners of the world. Located off the coast of the Yucatan
Peninsula, the beautiful of Isla Holbox exudes original charm. Unspoiled and
unexplored, it remains one of the gorgeous places to spend a relaxing vacation.
Though it doesn’t flaunt a big area (26 miles long and 0.9 miles wide),
travelers will have a plethora of activities to do.
A Day at Yum Balam:
On the
south side of the island is located this charming ecological reserve. You need
to rent a bike to reach the reserve and discover what it preserves. Grab one of
the best Isla Holbox vacation rentals, contact the owner if he’s renting out bike and
keep going on the main road till you reach an uninhabited area. This untouched
gem will surely surprise you.
Sample Ceviche:
There’s no
better place to eat ceviche than Mexico. The fresh and delectable seafood is a
favorite dish on the island. Raw fish steeped in lime or orange with red onion,
hot peppers, diced tomatoes, salt and cilantro.
Incredible Sunset:
You might
have watched a number of sunsets but watching one here is surely going to
engross your imagination.
Swim with Whale Sharks:
Weak-hearted
travelers are advised not to take a plunge into the water and get rewarded with
swimming along the beasts. There are manta rays and dolphins amongst other
marine animals to get close to. Be extra cautious to spend some time with
sharks. Take lessons offered by schools nearby.
Spot the Flamingos:
Between the
mainland and Isla Hotbox, Isla Passion is a well-recognized island famous for
birdwatching. The Flamingos are the central attraction on this tiny island.
Kayak the Mangroves:
Look at the
spellbinding sight of the mangroves around the island. Not only do they
mesmerize you, but give you an opportunity to spend a tranquil and serene
vacation. Drift through mangroves for a better view of the water and the
island.
Unwind:
Grab a
Cerveza – oh, you are already excited. Take a bowl of guacamole and grab a
poolside spot or lean back into a comforting hammock. If your vacation rental
doesn’t have one, don’t worry. Isla Holbox has more hammocks than its
travelers. Hit the beach, find a hammock, lean back and overcome jet lag.
