Sightseeing and entertainment
    Isla Mujeres (Island of Women) is another attraction. This is where we took a small ferry boat, and 20 minutes later were on the island. If you believe the official version, the island received its name at the very moment when, in March 1517 a Spanish expedition that scoured the waters in the Caribbean in search of slaves to the Cuban mines, moored on the unnamed island. Ashore, the sailors, in the person of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba, officially recognized as the discoverer of the island, found a lot of bare stone statues (Mexican scientists believe that those were the statues of a local goddess Ixchel and immediately gave the island its name, with characteristic bluntness of Spaniards - Isla Muheras. They were engaged in their industry throughout the Caribbean and from time to time returned to the island to hide the earnings. They say Henry Morgan’s proceeds are buried somewhere here. Island in the absence of men was controlled by their women, specially invited for this purpose from other continents. Thus, the permanent residents of Isla Mujeres were women - hence the name - The Island of Women.
     Sometimes pirates invaded the island and their presence on the island hasn’t remained unnoticed - some of them have achieved prosperity and were able to provide themselves with the island real estate, for example, Esq Furman Anonymous Mundasa-and-Marecheaga, a Spaniard by nationality and romantic traveler by way of life, owned about 40% of the land on the island. Travelers can enjoy his estate called Vista Alegre - Happy vision.






 

In the estate was all that to age: the exotic animals and songbirds, thickets of fruit trees and plantation of orchids - the garden under the name Rose of the Winds, designed as a sundial: the shadows of the trees could learn during the day.
     He had even his own tombstone, waiting for his time at the local cemetery: an empty tomb with the name Furman Anonymous Mundasa-and-Marecheaga really exists and during trips to show visitors.
     We drove around the island inside out and visited its every corner. The island is quite small - 8 miles long and 4 wide. Round it the day it is not difficult - to do that on every corner there are golf carts for rent. The island has a dock, a dolphin farm, turtle farm and beautiful beaches, luxurious hotels. You can enjoy the magnificent views of the ocean when viewed from the back side, and Cancun, as viewed from the pier. Once in Isla Mujeres is little known and deserted, and it is liked by the rich and powerful of this world. They say one of their weddings Bruce Willis celebrated here.
     Saturated with plethora of new impressions, we decided to combine the eventful day with a glamorous relaxing evening on the beach. The romantic tinge was added to our date night be the graphic peaceful atmosphere, outlines of palm trees against the turquoise sea which seemed burgundy in the sunset rays. But still we were dreaming of flamingoes. It is worth to get in touch with Travelocity Promotional Code, Orbitz Promotion Code, Expedia Coupon Code to enjoy the wonders of Cancun.
