Immerse yourself in the ancient cultures, timeless traditions, monumental architecture, and enthusiasm for life that characterize Mexico on an excursion to Discover Mexico Park in Cozumel. It is the only theme park that presents all of the country’s marvels and diversity in one place. You can explore with a guide, or on your own with a self-guided map. Start at the 4-screen video room, where every corner of Mexico comes to life through images set to bracing traditional music. Then meander through the gardens of tropical flowers and trees, home to macaws, turtles, and iguanas. Look out for the Mayan’s sacred Ceiba trees, symbol of their entire cosmos. Lining your path are intricate scale replicas of the great pyramids of the Maya, Aztec, and other ancient civilizations, as well as later monuments. Duck into the Museum of Popular Arts to view contemporary works from Mexico’s finest artisans, including detailed trees of life, Oaxaca’s rare black-clay pottery, and quirky alebrijes (carved wooden animals). The park’s newest addition, the Papantla Flyers, is an astonishing performance of the ancient voladores ritual, and will have your heart in your throat. For a unique memento of your visit, stop at the Hand Crafts and Souvenir Shop, a local favorite for holiday shopping.
