Once a hideout for pirates, Cozumel is one of Mexico’s crown jewels and popular Caribbean island with a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s the island served as a hideout for the infamous pirate Jean Lafitte who found it when running away from his pursuers. Cozumel remained uninhabited until 1847 until Spanish descendants settled on the island when fleeing away from conflicts taking place in the Yucatan Peninsula at that time.
