Holbox appears in the heart of Mayan culture, protecting its remains in the core of the island, pampering and converting them to one of the most impressive paradises in the Caribbean. As a pirates´ refuge, shark-hunters’ island and nowadays a quiet, traditional fishermen´s village, Holbox island begins today to timidly face the tourism. Located in the Natural Protected Area of Yum-Balam, it becomes the perfect place to observe the nature living by its own rules, used to the human presence that doesn’t interfere with its processes.
