The national Chankanaab Park features the only inland coral reef formation in the world. Situated just south of San Miguel, Chankanaab is located within Isla Cozumel's Reefs National Marine Park and is the perfect place for families to spend the day. Visitors can partake in a variety of activities both natural and man-made.

The Park is home to many natural habitats like Chankanaab Lagoon, the world renowned eco-system aquarium. More than 60 species of tropical fish, crustaceans and corals can be found in the Lagoon. The island’s only botanical garden also resides within the Park and is filled with a variety of tropical plants- more than 350 different species! Trails are mapped out throughout the forest making it easy to spot exotic birds and plants during a walk.

A popular Park attraction is Dolphin Discovery, where visitors can interact with the dolphins during a 45-minute swim. Another activity for the animal lover is watching the talented sea lions perform stunts and such during their daily shows.

For history buffs, take a stroll through the Maya Zone, a modern reproduction of a Maya village where visitors are educated about the ancient culture's building and farming practices.

Two more activities, Snuba and Sea Trek, link non-divers to oxygen tanks above the water giving them a chance to view the coral reefs and colorful tropical fish that populate these waters.
