Day 1: Isla Mujeres to Punta Maroma Reef Embark on your exquisite charter adventure in Isla Mujeres before you set sail to Punta Maroma, an awe-inspiring Caribbean beach on the Mayan Riviera. Punta Maroma is celebrated for its white powdery sands, crystalline waters and a remarkable coral reef that is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the world’s second largest. One of the best beaches on the planet, Punta Maroma will inspire you. Choose to relax onboard, on the beach or in water and prepare your underwater camera as you swim with vibrant fish and marvel at beautiful multicolored coral. Day 2: Punta Maroma Reef to Cozumel Island Wake up to fabulous sunshine and enjoy a sumptuous breakfast onboard after a glorious morning dip. As you make your way over to Cozumel Island, enjoy an unwinding soak in the Jacuzzi accompanied by unparalleled views over the stunning Riviera. Arrive to Cozumel Island, an impeccable charter destination well appreciated for its quaint resorts, marvelous beaches and splendid spots for diving and snorkeling. Day 3: On Cozumel Island You will have time today to explore Cozumel Island. Tour its largest town being San Miguel de Cozumel, a bustling destination paved with monuments and parks, such as the Parque Benito Juarez, San Miguel’s main plaza. Visit the Museum of the Cozumel Island exhibiting the island’s history and environment in what was once its first luxury hotel. Cozumel is also a magnificent tropical hotspot inhabited by a number of endemic bird species, unique fish, native wildlife and endemic dwarf mammals that you might just have the chance of encountering during a hike through the island. Go swimming with the dolphins, snorkeling, diving or fishing around Cozumel and spare some time to visit San Gervasio Mayan Ruins, the most important ancient site on the island and sanctuary of Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of fertility and love. Day 4: Cozumel Island to Puerto Aventuras After a lovely morning coffee in San Miguel, set off to Puerto Aventuras, a resort on the Mayan Riviera where activities abound. Home to a deluxe marina, Puerto Aventuras will be the perfect backdrop for your catamaran offering scuba diving, beaches, golf courses, tennis courts, premium shopping and elegant dining options. Swimming with the dolphins is an absolute must during your stay in this locale so prepare for lifetime memories. Stay in town for the evening or opt for a relaxed soiree onboard accompanied by a refreshing soak in the Jacuzzi or stargazing on the aft deck. Day 5: Puerto Aventuras to Tulum Reef Tulum sits on the world’s second largest reef in the world. Discover why it is one of the earliest resorts in Mexico preferred by the Mayan kings and clergy in Pre-Columbian times. Go beachcombing on the tropical picturesque beach and visit the Mayan ruins of Tulum where ancient tales echo around every corner. After lunch, plunge into the water with a mask, tube and fins and explore the rich marine life of vivid fish and coral around the site. Day 6: Tulum Reef to Playa del Carmen Playa del Carmen is a port of call not to be missed during your stay aboard FOREVER. Once a small fishing village, the town has grown into an important diving destination on the map of the world’s best diving zones. Centrally located on the Mayan Riviera, Playa del Carmen boasts of a more serene ambiance than Cancún and authentic European charm. Fishing, snorkeling, diving and golf are only some of the outdoor activities in Playa del Carmen while the town is also lined with deluxe restaurants or more casual eateries as well as fabulous shopping options, including malls, quaint boutiques and artisan shops. Day 7: Playa del Carmen to Isla Mujeres Enjoy morning water fun or last-minute shopping in town before heading back to Isla Mujeres. Climb up to the flybridge or lounge around on the foredeck to catch warm sun rays while delighting in bedazzling vistas of the beautiful Mayan Riviera. Disembark in Villa Rolandi Isla Mujeres. .

  • Late Pleistocene Bays and Reefs: Ancestors to the Modern Caribbean Coast, Yucata´Npen´Insula, Mexico´ Charles E
    Journal of Coastal Research 32 2 280–285 Coconut Creek, Florida March 2016 Late Pleistocene Bays and Reefs: Ancestors to the Modern Caribbean Coast, Yucata´nPen´ınsula, Mexico´ Charles E. Shaw* Centro Ecologico´ Akumal Akumal 77776, Quintana Roo, Mexico´ [email protected] ABSTRACT Shaw, C.E., 2016. Late Pleistocene bays and reefs: Ancestors to the modern Caribbean coast, Yucata´n Pen´ınsula, Mexico.´ Journal of Coastal Research, 32(2), 280–285. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Low-lying indentations along the modern Caribbean coast of the Yucata´n Peninsula host shallow bays with classic crescent-shaped, white-sand beaches. These indentations have previously been explained as products of Holocene dissolution of Pleistocene limestones within a brackish coastal mixing zone. This paper demonstrates that the lows confining the modern bays were formed by sedimentary processes 122,000 6 2000 YBP, during the late Pleistocene. A 50 km stretch of the Caribbean coast between Tankah and Playa del Carmen, here called the high coast, is characterized by rocky headlands that are underlain by fossilized coral reefs of late Pleistocene age and lows between headlands occupied by modern bays. Study of landforms using aerial photographs together with field examination of late Pleistocene calcarenite exposed in quarries has led to recognition of a series of arcuate Pleistocene beaches with large attached spits that developed during a period of falling sea level that followed the oxygen isotope substage 5e sea-level highstand. Pleistocene beaches and associated triangular spits form a series of cuspate arcs, each precisely aligned with one of the modern bays and each triangular spit aligned with the center of a modern headland.
