Holbox
Island is located a three hours bus trip of Cancún, in the north-east of
the peninsula Yucatan. There is only one village on the 35 km long and 1
to 2 km wide island. Almost half of the 2000 habitants are children. The
islanders are living of tourism and fishing and are very cheerful and warm hearted
people. On Holbox you will find very genuine and relaxing places.
The roads are sandy and peaceful, giving the village a very special
character and inviting you to walk barefoot. This tiny island is a
panorama of wild, mysterious scenery and colour contrasts.
