A defining piece of Texas history, the San Jacinto Museum sits on the very battlefield where Texas won its independence from Mexico. Located at the base of the towering 567-foot San Jacinto Monument, the museum houses one of the largest collections of Texan art, artifacts, and historical exhibits. For a panoramic view of the historic battleground and the surrounding area, take the elevator to the top of the monument—it's the tallest war memorial in the U.S. and offers a unique perspective on the site where Texas' future was decided.

An embodiment of the iconic Greek white-with-a-blue-dome, postcard-ready look that dominates postcards, this structure is set atop a high hill and dates back to the 18th century.

Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park, part of Cozumel’s National Reef Marine Park, offers a mix of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and aquatic adventures. Its clear waters are perfect for snorkeling or diving among coral reefs and sunken statues, while the sandy beach is ideal for relaxing under the shade of a palm tree. Visitors can explore tropical gardens dotted with replicas of Mayan structures, learn about agave cultivation during a tequila tasting, or experience a traditional Mayan temazcal ceremony. For animal lovers, the park provides opportunities to swim with dolphins, interact with manatees, or watch sea lions in action.
