\"COZUMEL<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Cozumel <\/span>est la plus grande \u00eele du Mexique, entour\u00e9e d’un spectaculaire chapelet de r\u00e9cifs coralliens, un paradis pour les plongeurs. Depuis le documentaire r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par l’explorateur oc\u00e9anographique Jacques Cousteau en 1961, Cozumel est devenue un lieu de pr\u00e9dilection visit\u00e9 par des milliers de plongeurs<\/a> chaque ann\u00e9e.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Des centaines de bateaux de croisi\u00e8re y font escale. La mer qui baigne l’\u00eele foisonne d’innombrables esp\u00e8ces sous-marines, de r\u00e9cifs color\u00e9s et d’\u00e9paves de galions espagnols. En fait, plus de 30 % des visiteurs de Cozumel sont des plongeurs, ou veulent le devenir! Les autres peuvent observer une \u00e9tonnante vari\u00e9t\u00e9 d’oiseaux migrateurs qui y s\u00e9journent pendant une partie de l’ann\u00e9e, visiter le parc national Chankanaab, faire du magasinage, aller p\u00eacher ou encore, tout simplement, se reposer sur l’une des magnifiques plages.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
D\u00e8s l’an 300, l’\u00eele \u00e9tait occup\u00e9e par une tribu maya<\/a>. Elle devint par la suite un important port de commerce et un grand centre c\u00e9r\u00e9moniel. Les femmes de la c\u00f4te venaient en pirogue \u00e0 Cozumel pour y adorer Ixchel, la d\u00e9esse de la F\u00e9condit\u00e9. Plus de 35 sites arch\u00e9ologiques sont diss\u00e9min\u00e9s dans l’\u00eele, mais seulement une poign\u00e9e est actuellement mise au jour. Curieusement, c’est la popularit\u00e9 du chewing-gum aux \u00c9tats-Unis qui est \u00e0 l’origine de la renaissance \u00e9conomique de Cozumel au d\u00e9but du si\u00e8cle. Cozumel \u00e9tait en effet une escale vers l’Am\u00e9rique du Sud sur la route d’importation du chicle, le produit de base de la gomme \u00e0 m\u00e2cher, extrait du sapotier.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Apr\u00e8s une courte fl\u00e2nerie au centre de San Miguel, sur la tr\u00e8s anim\u00e9e Plaza del Sol, o\u00f9 vous aurez le bonheur d’entendre des mariachis les dimanches soirs, vous pourrez aller admirer d’int\u00e9ressants vestiges, comme une statue de la d\u00e9esse Ixchel et des t\u00eates de serpent en pierre, ainsi qu’une grosse t\u00eate olm\u00e8que en jade au Museo de la Isla de Cozumel. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Les ruines de l’\u00eele t\u00e9moignent de l’importance de Cozumel en tant que centre c\u00e9r\u00e9moniel. La plupart des vestiges sont de petits \u00e9difices carr\u00e9s de faible hauteur. Depuis la quasi-destruction d’ El Cedral, San Gervasio est devenu le groupe de ruines le plus important de l’\u00eele. On y retrouve un groupe de petits sanctuaires et de temples \u00e9rig\u00e9s en l’honneur d’Ixchel, d\u00e9esse maya de la Fertilit\u00e9.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"<\/span>Au sud de la plage San Francisco, une route rev\u00eatue m\u00e8ne \u00e0 la plus ancienne construction de l’\u00eele, El Cedral. Avant l’ouragan Roxanne (1995), on pouvait encore voir \u00e0 El Cedral des traces de fresques peintes par les Mayas. Comme si ce site n’avait pas d\u00e9j\u00e0 assez souffert: en 1518, les Espagnols l’ont presque r\u00e9duit \u00e0 n\u00e9ant. Ce fut ensuite au tour des Am\u00e9ricains, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de le raser pour faire place \u00e0 une piste d’atterrissage.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
A l’extr\u00e9mit\u00e9 sud de l’\u00eele cette fois, les ruines de Tumba del Caracol tirent leur nom d’un temple dont la base carr\u00e9e est surmont\u00e9e d’une coupole en forme d’escargot (en espagnol: caracol), aujourd’hui \u00e0 moiti\u00e9 d\u00e9truite. On croit que ce site fut construit en hommage au vent ou encore au dieu maya Kukulc\u00e1n.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Enfin, sur la c\u00f4te nord-est de l’\u00eele, le Castillo Real pr\u00e9sente un petit groupe de ruines qui comprend une tour, les restes d’une pyramide et un temple carr\u00e9, fissur\u00e9 dans le milieu. On distingue encore, \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur, des fresques color\u00e9es.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a>Les passionn\u00e9s d’exotisme ne manqueront pas de se rendre au parc de Chankanaab, un des plus beaux sites de l’\u00eele. La lagune de Chankanaab est un aquarium naturel aliment\u00e9 en eau de mer par des tunnels souterrains. On peut y observer une cinquantaine d’esp\u00e8ces de poissons, de crustac\u00e9s et de coraux. Dans le parc m\u00eame, un sentier permet de d\u00e9couvrir 350 types de plantes et d’arbres tropicaux provenant de 22 pays. Un mus\u00e9e consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la vie des Mayas y a \u00e9galement \u00e9t\u00e9 am\u00e9nag\u00e9. A 320 m au large, le r\u00e9cif de corail de Chankanaab attire des foules de plongeurs avec ses mille esp\u00e8ces color\u00e9es.<\/div>\n
