The Island of Women
Isla Mujeres means Island of Women and I had heard great things about it from some of the people staying in Tulum . It got its name from the conquistadors who, when they arrived on the island, saw many depictions of the Mayan moon goddess. This led them to believe the island was a shrine for women. The tourism network in Mexico, the Yucatan peninsula especially, is very well setup. A bus was on hand within 20 minutes of me purchasing a ticket at the Tulum terminal and within 2 hours I was in Cancun and in a taxi to a ferry where I only waited 10 minutes before boarding a massive catamaran that took just 20 minutes to reach the island. We crossed over perfect turquoise ocean and I could feel I would like this place. The Cancun Port Incredible blue ocean Once we had all disembarked I got in a cab to Pocna hostel and checked in. The place is setup as an expansive sort of Mediterranean villa. The dorms were spartan but spacious, clean and well ventilated by fans... all you need real...
