The city

What to expect from Holbox.

Holbox is a narrow island in northern Quintana Roo, inside the protected area of Yum Balam, separated from the mainland by a shallow lagoon. The village has sandy streets, houses with colorful murals and no cars: transport is by golf cart or bicycle. Boat trips to swim with the whale shark depart from the island, usually appearing from June to September. Holbox Beach and Punta Cocos, to the west, are the sunset spots.
