The Island of Cozumel, located on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, is a true tropical paradise. With its beautiful white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, this island is a popular tourist destination for nature lovers and diving enthusiasts. But there is a little winged gem that often goes unnoticed: hummingbirds. These tiny, colorful birds have found their home in the island's lush vegetation and add a magical touch to the natural environment.
When visiting Hotel Villas Colibrà (Hummingbird in Spanish), it is almost impossible not to come across one of these amazing delights. With their swift and agile flight, these tiny birds look like little jewels in motion. Hummingbirds are attracted to the tropical flowers that abound on the island and feed on the nectar they offer. Look for the Cozumel Emerald species which is endemic to our island. The brilliant colors of their feathers and striking patterns make for a fascinating sight to watch as they move from flower to flower. Their presence adds an extra dose of beauty and joy to Cozumel's already impressive biodiversity. If you get the chance to visit this island paradise, be sure to have your camera ready to capture the grace and elegance of these tiny hummingbirds in action.
