Imagine floating in the clearest, turqouise colored waters you've ever seen.

Where the Ocean floor is a soft, white, sand bed that glistens under the sunlight. Welcome to El Cielo, one of the many hidden gems found off the southern coast of Cozumel. The name El Cielo, translated from Spanish, literally means the sky, but in this case, Heaven On Earth.

When you are fortunate enough to visit this magical, ocean retreat, enjoyed by visitors from around the world, you will know that you have reached a place in paradise where you will encounter, rays, turtles, and various species of fish. Perhaps the most enjoyable sight is of the countless, colorful starfish that rest peacefully on the sea bed, as if mirroring the constellations above.

El Cielo offers you a connection with the natural world not found in many places on earth. You will immediately feel a sense of peace as you listen to the gentle whisper of the sea, and are enveloped by a sense of serenity and peace, in one of Cozumel's most breathtaking natural environment.

This is a unique escape from the busy world, where you will be able to relax and de-stress, while being mesmerized by the clarity and colorful reflection of the Mexican Caribbean.

I used to visit this place with my Dad, when I was a 12 year old girl. He was the captain of The Bonanza boat, one of Cozumel's most popular for tours of El Cielo, and the Colombia and Paraíso reefs. I always invited my friend Triny to go, and have such fond memories of being on the water with my father who would cook for us and serve freshly prepared guacamole, ceviche and Pescado entomatado. Que rico! My dad was also an incredible chef.

I remember jumping from the boat into the crystal clear blue waters to snorkel, and swim with the fish thinking I am the luckiest girl in the world to be able to enjoy this aquatic paradise. This was El Cielo for me. A world of colorful life and magical experiences that seemed to be so far away from life in downtown Cozumel, but only a short boat ride away.

On your next trip to Cozumel, put El Cielo on your to do list. Tours run daily, weather permitting, and there are a variety of booking options you can find at the ferry terminal downtown, or online. Pack your cooler and enjoy a day in heaven on earth at El Cielo, Cozumel. Most tour operators offer beverage and snacks as part of the package, but its always good to have extra to share with the new friends you are sure to make during your trip.

An important reminder for those who partake in this ocean adventure, The Coral and Marine life you encounter are strictly for visual enjoyment.

No Touching Allowed.

Bring your camera and capture the beauty of El Cielo for eternity.
