Isla Mujeres trip planner

Tiny municipal seat of an eponymous island, each season Isla Mujeres swells to bursting with international tourists coming here to swim, snorkel, dive, fish, and sail. In a town housing just 10,000 permanent residents, an Isla Mujeres vacation can be a relaxing and unhurried experience, allowing you to discover a tropical paradise at your own pace. Curiously named "Island of Women," this spot remains a favorite for visitors interested in spending most of their holiday outdoors. Busloads of day-trippers from nearby Cancun can spoil the atmosphere in the morning, but by late afternoon the crowds disappear and the town returns to its slower pace of life.
