Isla Mujeres Travel Guide Once a small fishing village, colorful Isla Mujeres (meaning "Island of Women") has become a favorite for
travelers seeking natural beauty, island serenity, and a slower pace of life—all without compromising its
cultural traditions. Winter months offer excellent sportfishing, and the calm surrounding waters are great
for snorkeling and swimming year-round.
During high season, boatloads of visitors pop over from
Cancún for a taste of the island life. The midday
rush is a boon for vendors and hagglers offering every kind of service from hair braiding to beach
massages. By late afternoon, though, the masses disappear and return to their big-city nightlife and the
comforts of the mainland. Those who stay behind discover that on
Isla Mujeres, worldly concerns fade
with the setting sun.
