Downtown Cozumel & Brewery

OVERVIEW

See historical landmarks on an enlightening walk through downtown Cozumel and toast the occasion with a sampling of craft beers at the city’s first brewery. You will begin at Benito Juarez Square, an expansive plaza named for the national hero who in 1858 became the first indigenous president of Mexico. A clock tower dedicated to Juarez has risen above the square for more than a century. Just a block away, you will find San Miguel Church, a modest but iconic building that has long provided a spiritual anchor. After a bit of free time to shop for artisanal handicrafts, you will settle in at the microbrewery Cerveceria Punta Sur. A behind-the-scenes tour will reveal the more interesting aspects of the brewing process that produces signature beers that include an IPA, blonde ale and stout. To complement the tasting, you will be served a snack platter with Guacamole, boneless chicken wings and potato wedges.
