March 2011
The month began with a flurry of activities once the PGA Annual Tournament held during the 5th year of the Mayakoba Golf Classic, was completed on February 28th. If Golf is your passion, it’s not too soon to plan a February, 2012 vacation here in Puerto Morelos for the 6th annual tournament. Ask us for details.
Spring Break is going strong on the Rivera Maya with more families spending vacation time together in a relaxed ambiance in one of the many rental houses or condos available in town. A perfect place to vacation for families, extended families or groups of friends, these houses and condos are available for short term or seasonal long term rentals and are a great alternative to hotel vacations. The snow birds here during the past few months are already making early arrangements to return for Winter 2012. Ask us for more information about available properties.
Winter Carnival, March 5th through the 8th, began with the coronation of the Carnival Queen, dancing competitions and other fun activities held around the Puerto Morelos town square or Zocalo. Our Colonia Zetina Gasca, located across the highway from Puerto Morelos, featured additional activities every other day. Everyone had an opportunity to join in the music, laughter and general fun.
On March 12th, the First Eco-Cultural Fair was held at the Cancun Messe Convention Hall located along the Cancun-Tulum highway. People all along the Riviera Maya joined in a delightful afternoon of viewing craft art displays, paintings, sculptures, and listening to music that expresses the passion for art, ecology and creativity found in this area. This free event was held to benefit the “Save the Children of Quintana Roo” and was sponsored by the organization LOVE Cancun.
Saturday, March 19th, children from our local schools will participate in theater, singing and dancing during our Spring Festival held in Puerto Morelos’ town square or Zocalo. If you were here, you too could join in this welcome to spring.
Puerto Morelos has long awaited the official decree providing for its governmental independence from Cancun. On March 20th , the Mayor “Alcalde” of Puerto Morelos will present this official decree to the delegation and citizens of Puerto Morelos. The day will be full of celebratory activities for the community at large from 9:00 a.m. until late evening, culminating with dancing to the live music of the band Group Essex.
There’s still time to join us when Puerto Morelos hosts its Annual Fishing Tournament the last weekend in May. This event attracts deep sea fishermen from not only Mexico but the USA, Canada and other countries. They come to spend a weekend full of high emotions competing for the largest fish caught in the National Maritime Park which is located only 800 meters from the Puerto Morelos shore. Part of the Grand Mayan Reef, this is the world’s second largest barrier reef.
Not a fisherman? It’s still lots of fun to come down to the town dock and watch the participants bring in their catch while participating in the festival atmosphere. Prime rental properties and hotels are still available but won’t be for long. Contact us to book your trip to Cancun or Puerto Morelos during the beautiful weather month of May.
