Welcome to Cozumel Choice Tours where we invite you to Take an Adventure in Culture with us! We are specialists in the Mayan culture and would love to share our passion for this civilization by taking you to the most reputed Mayan sites in the Mexican State of Quintana Roo. We are excited to invite you to plunge in the Mayan culture with David and his brother Juan that have an extensive knowledge of the Mayan civilization. They were born in the heart of a Mayan family by the Chacchoben ruins where they have learned about traditional medicine,local flora,and fauna. They grew up in Tulum at the time the ruins were being excavated. Later,through formal education as certified tourist guides,they have also learned how to transmit their own life experiences. For over 20 years we have proudly been guiding cruise-ship clients to the Mayan sites and our reputation keeps growing based on: - exquisite punctuality,
- small groups limited to 12 people,
- knowledge and passion for the authentic Mayan world,and
- our personal involvement in consistently delivering the highest customer experience.

Instead of spending hours in a crowded bus with 60 of your shipmates,why not enjoying a small fully-escorted tour to Tulum,discover the Tulum ruins from the sea as the Spanish conquerors first found them,explore the highlights of Cozumel or swim with turtles in the Akumal bay?

By Philippe,on June 25th,2010 Visit with us the impressive Tulum Ruins by the turquoise seaTulum,in Mayan means “fence or wall”,and is one of the most visited Maya sites in Yucatan. The impressive ruins with its backdrop of the turquoise waters is just breathtaking and a great memorable photo opportunity. Most archeologists believe that Tulum reached its flourishing during the late Post-classic period (AD 1200-1521) and that it was an important port town during its heyday. When the Spaniard Juan de Grijalva sailed past in 1518,he was amazed by the sight of the walled city,its buildings painted a gleaming red,blue and yellow and a ceremonial fire flaming atop its seaside watchtower. The several meters thick walls surrounding three sides of Tulum indicate that this settlement had a strategic function as a religious and trading port during the strife between Maya city-states. The city was abandoned a few years after the Spanish conquest and reoccupied by the Maya Cruzobs during the Casts War in the 1800′s. During your visit you will come to understand the everyday life in this Maya city,architecture,mythology and religious beliefs,commerce and important historical milestones. See tour details By Philippe,on June 24th,2010 The view of the impressive ruins with its backdrop of the turquoise waters is just breathtaking.In this tour you will have the opportunity not only to walk around one of the most important Mayan sites but also to have a new insight in history by looking at the ancient city from the sea,the way the Spanish conquerors discovered it in 1518 when the buildings were painted a gleaming red,blue and yellow and a ceremonial fire flaming atop its seaside watchtower. The view of the ruins from the sea will also help you understand the importance of this city as a trade port in ancient times. Trade was a key commercial activity to the Mayans that created an extensive network of long and short-distance trade routes linking different points in the region to transport products such as salt (one of the most important commodities in the Mayan civilization used to cook,to preserve food and also as a ritual element to perform their magic),honey,tobacco,vanilla,rubber,jade,pearls,obsidian,feathers and jaguar skins;and also manufactured goods such as pottery,incense burners and textiles. We invite you to imagine yourself in one of the large canoes -up to 53 feet long- trading in exchange for other goods or cocoa beans,that were used as currency. You can learn how the sailors found the entrance to the city from the sea by following guiding fire in the building known as El Castillo used as a beacon. Finally,if you wish and time and weather allows it,you will also have the chance to plunge in the water and see the amazing sea life of the coral reef located at a short distance off-shore.
