Cozumel Birding Festival
Posted Thursday, October 6, 2016

The "Isla Cozumel Birding Festival" promotes bird watching as a sustainable tourism strategy on the island, and at the same time, is designed to inform and build interest in the vital role birds play in the balance of our ecosystems as well as their impact on life.

The Organizing Committee for the Isla Cozumel Birding Festival, extends you a cordial invitation to participate in the 1st Birding fundraising "In love with wildlife" to benefit the 8th Isla Cozumel Birding Festival.

We invite you to live this unique experience. You don't need to be an ornithologist to appreciate the aesthetic splendor of the wide variety of birdlife that lives in the island of Cozumel. The tour will have a specialized guide speaking entirely in English, and for maximum enjoyment and the preservation of our environment, the size group will be of a maximum of 10 people. We have two available dates for this activity: Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of October, 2016.

The birding tour includes: English speaking tour guide, birds brochure, borrowing binoculars, coffee and breakfast after birding.

If you would like to live this experience, please contact Cecilia Alcerreca by phone 987 101 31 14 or email cozumelbirdingclub@gmail.com

If you're unable to attend, we will appreciate for sharing this information with someone you consider might be interested in participating in this magnificent experience.

We look forward to your participation and support in the conservation of Cozumel's birds.

ZIKA Virus Not Found Here In Cozumel
Posted Friday, April 1, 2016

* The latest news is that the mosquito-borne Zika virus has not
been seen here on the island. It is transmitted by the same type
of mosquito linked to dengue.

In a recent New York Times article, Mexico's undersecretary for
Prevention and Health Promotion, as stated that so far there have
been only 15 cases of Zika, 10 of which were in the State of Chiapas.

The symptoms of the virus are rash and headaches mild fever, rashes,
conjunctivitis, muscle or joint pain, and general feeling of illness
that begin 2-7 days after infection. Four out of five people who are
infected have no symptoms at all.

If you are not a woman of childbearing age, pregnant or trying to get
pregnant, the Zika virus is unlikely to cause you any serious trouble.

Zika cannot be transmitted person to person or through the air, food,
or water.

It is not considered life threatening in healthy adults, however,
recent events have shown the virus to negatively affect a developing
fetus.

You can feel safe while visiting the island.

Have a great trip !!

Thinking of Renting a Scooter While in Cozumel??
Posted Friday, April 1, 2016

I know people come to Cozumel with a desire to get on a bicycle
or scooter to experience the island in a more open and connected
way. But there are tourist accidents and deaths all thru the year
that could be avoided.

The simple truth is that people here in Cozumel drive in a very
different way than in the states. Cars will pass you on the left
or the right. They will turn in front of you from the opposite lane.
Scooters will wander over to your lane or will turn abruptly right
in front of you.

So what I am saying is this:
* BE SUPER CAREFUL !!!
(Even if you are in a car, there are hazzards everywhere.)

* Take your time.
(Watch other drivers and always expect the unexpected.)

* Drivers go much faster than they should and do not necessarily
stop at the stop signs.

SO BE CAREFUL WHILE IN COZUMEL !!!

If you rent a scooter, car or bicycle,
be super careful and watch all around.

DON'T BE A STATISTIC !!!!
