This swathe of white sand bathed by impossibly turquoise waters is a magnet for sun lovers who while away the hours on sun beds or at bars under the palm trees. Go snorkeling, watch the yachts sail past and stay on for spectacular sunsets.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/xochimilco.jpg\" alt=\"Xoximilco\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/xochimilco.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/xochimilco-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/xochimilco-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/xochimilco-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Xoximilco<\/h3>\n<p>A festive evening at Xoximilco is just the way to celebrate the holiday season in Mexico. This jungle park is inspired by the canals and world-famous floating gardens of Xochimilco on the outskirts of Mexico City and it echoes with the sounds of music from all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>At Xoximilco, the mariachis strike up under a star-studded sky, tequila flows and dinner is served on board a colorful trajinera or barge that sails along tree-lined canals. This is a Mexican experience you won\u2019t want to miss, full of color, traditional cuisine, music and song, a fiesta to share with family and friends.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68229\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/muyil.jpg\" alt=\"Muyil\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/muyil.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/muyil-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/muyil-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/muyil-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Muyil<\/h3>\n<p>Have you ever ventured south of Tulum along Highway 307? The Mayan marvels continue with the archaeological site of Muyil, 20 minutes away. The largest Maya city discovered in the Sian Ka\u2019an Biosphere Reserve to date, Muyil is located on the shores of the lagoon of the same name, also known as Chunyaxche.\u00a0 In ancient times, it was a trade center, the shipping point for goods bound for inland cities throughout the Yucatan Peninsula.<\/p>\n<p>Over a thousand years ago, Muyil\u2019s inhabitants widened and dredged a natural channel winding through the mangroves towards the Caribbean for their trading canoes to use. A local cooperative offers eco trips in the wetlands that follow this ancient route.<\/p>\n<p>As you walk through the forest past Muyil\u2019s crumbling temples you may catch a glimpse of a turquoise-browed motmot or pajaro reloj perched on a branch, their distinctive circular tail feathers swaying in the breeze. Look out for the flash of emerald-green hummingbirds flitting from flower to flower and clouds of butterflies settling to drink the salt-rich water.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-68215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cozumel-reef.jpg\" alt=\"Cozumel\u2019s Reefs\" width=\"845\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cozumel-reef.jpg 845w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cozumel-reef-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cozumel-reef-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.royalresorts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/cozumel-reef-705x473.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Cozumel\u2019s Reefs.<\/h3>\n<p>Discover Cozumel\u2019s underwater treasures. The wonders of the island\u2019s coral kingdom were first brought to international attention by Mexican diver Ren\u00e9 Cardona and French conservationist and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau. Just a short ferry ride from Playa del Carmen, the chain of reefs circling Cozumel\u2019s leeward coast offers some of the finest diving in the world. Visibility is as high as 200 feet and the seascapes are breathtaking: towering coral buttresses and walls festooned with sponges and coral gardens teeming with marine life, including 300 species of multicolored fish of all shapes and sizes.<\/p>\n<h3>Explore the Yucatan<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasmoretravel.com\/\">Thomas More Travel<\/a> can help you arrange trips to these spots and to all the natural and historical wonders in the Mexican Caribbean and Yucatan.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s our monthly gallery showcasing some of the region\u2019s many natural and historical attractions.
