In the Mexican Caribbean there are plenty of heavenly places to spend a dream vacation thanks to its spectacular beaches and the nature that surrounds them. One of these places is Women Island, which is very close to the Yucatan peninsula and is a small island 8 kilometers long and is surrounded by amazing beaches where you can enjoy your days off.
It is called that way thanks to an anecdote with a lot of history, and that is that Spanish conquers who discovered the island found many Mayan offerings with feminine forms since the island was a sanctuary of the Mayan goddess of fertility and love. So, since then it has been called that and today it is one of the most famous islands in the entire Caribbean.
You can only go on an excursion to Isla Mujeres from Cancun to spend the day or you can choose it as the destination of your vacation since it has a couple of places to stay, and it is that at first you could only visit it during the day but so many people fell in love with the island that they made a couple of hotels in order to satisfy all its visitors.
At various points on the island you can see some Mayan archaeological remains very important and dedicated to the goddess Ixchel, in addition to which it was also a refuge for pirates and slave traders in former times. An island that is currently ideal for lovers of nature and marine fauna since in the surroundings you can observe and swimming with dolphins and also see some turtles.
