In 1861 Abraham Lincoln tried to buy Cozumel for freed Americans, calling it a deserted island. It was home to four hundred Caste War refugees. This seventy-five minute self-guided audio walk follows what the town's own records really say, nine stops from the cruise terminal to the waterfront bronze.

What You'll Experience

Nine stops along the San Miguel waterfront and plaza: a lighthouse hidden in a shopping mall, a clock tower that told no time, an archangel with two pasts, and a bronze raised to a film that never existed. A walk that teaches you to read the town's own records. Starts at the Punta Langosta lighthouse; arriving by ferry, walk five minutes south along the waterfront to start there, since the walk builds front to back.

Tour Highlights

  • The Seam in the Tower
  • The Deserted Island
  • The Film That Never Existed
  • The Pier That Started Wooden
