The Experience
“You sure you want to try the bee sanctuary?” our guide, Javier, asked, grinning as he handed me a bottle of cold water. I’d barely finished laughing at my attempt to pronounce “melipona” when we rolled down the window and the air changed—hotter, but sweet somehow. The Jeep’s A/C was a relief after walking around San Gervasio ruins (the iguanas there don’t care about tourists at all), but honestly, I liked how Javier kept pointing out tiny things—like the way old fishermen wave from their bikes or how the market smells different after rain. We didn’t really have a plan; just a rough idea of what we wanted, and he filled in the rest.
I didn’t expect to like driving along the east side so much—there’s this wildness to it, waves crashing and not much between you and Cuba except blue. We stopped for coconut water at a shack where two kids were playing marbles in the dust. It wasn’t some big tourist spot; just felt like real Cozumel. Lunch was whatever we felt like—Javier suggested tacos near downtown (“not too spicy unless you want to sweat,” he warned). I still think about that salsa.
The best part? No schedule chasing. If we wanted more time watching bees or less time at Chankanaab Beach Park, it was up to us. Even when we got caught behind a slow-moving scooter parade (apparently Tuesdays?), nobody stressed. There’s something about having your own guide who knows everyone—makes you feel like you belong for a day. Five hours went fast, but it didn’t feel rushed at all…kind of wish I’d tried more Spanish jokes though.
