Perhaps the only site on Isla Mujeres that qualifies as an honest to goodness archeological attraction is the Temple of the Mayan Goddess Ixchel. The temple is modest to say the most, but as in real estate it’s location, location, location that matters. The temple is at Punta Sur and the authorities have built an international sculpture garden as well as a market and restaurant complex for the visiting tourists. It also happens that this is the first spot in Mexico to see the sunrise.

Probably it’s just the little boy still in me, but the feature that I liked best was the walkway around the point below the level of the temple itself.
