At Dune Buggy Adventour, we make an ATV powered drive to Castillo Real, a mayan ruin hidden deep in Cozumel’s jungle. We make a ride on the ocean shore to make our way to one of the greatest vestiges that the great Mayan culture left in the island. El Castillo Real was used by natives for their navigation system. It was used as a look-out with four viewpoints corresponding to the Cardinal points (North, South, East and West) with the main entrance located with a view to every day’s sunrise. Come over to Dune Buggy Adventour in Cozumel Island to discover this amazing piece of Mayan architecture.
Military Use of Dune Buggys
Around the 1980’s, the U.S. Army had a whole battalion of armed dune buggys. These were expected to scout and harass enemy areas. Painted in green and brown camo, they were called Chenowth and they were equipped with machine guns, grenade launchers and even anti-tank missiles. They were built for one driver one co-driver and one turret-man that controlled the armory. These battle-buggys proved useful during the time of the gulf-war providing U.S. Navy SEALs a dashing speed and off-road movility, making their way to the first forces of entry to Kuwait City in 1991. We invite you to try out our buggys at Cozumel’s Dune Buggy Adventour.
Types of ATV’s
The All-terrain vehicle, also known as ATV, is a vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, with a seat that is straddled by the operator, along with handlebars for steering control. At Dune Buggy Adventour we own the Honda TRX 350 Quadbike but what other type of quadbikes are out there? There are Military use ATV’s which usually are six-wheeled, such as the Jiger produced by the Jiger Corporation, and they were first introduced in mid 1960s and early 1970s. There were also the three-wheeled ATV’s which were used for recreational uses. The first three-wheeled ATV was the Sperry-Rand Tricart. It was designed in 1967 as a graduate project of John Plessinger at the Cranbrook Academy of Arts near Detroit. And we finally have the four-wheelers, Suzuki was a leader in the development of four-wheeled ATVs. It sold the first model, the 1982 QuadRunner LT125, which was a recreational machine for beginners. Since then there have been many changes and many uses for the ATV’s such as farming, racing, construction working, etc. At Dune Buggy Adventours we want to provide you with the best type of ATV’s for you and your family to have the best day of your lives with us at Cozumel Island.

Snorkel at Playa Uvas!
Snorkel is a practice of swimming on the ocean with a diving mask, a shaped breathing tube called a snorkel, and usually swimfins. It is usually a calm practice and it is not as rigorous as scuba diving. At Playa Uvas we offer a snorkel tour which allows you to see some of the wild life that lives in our coral reef. While this is a fun activity, snorkeling has also served for some scientific purposes, as underwater photography grew popular, science programs have given the opportunity to biodiversity-interested snorkelers, in order for them to turn their observations into sound scientific data, available for research.
Visit Playa Uvas for an opportunity to experience snorkeling and a chance to meet the wild life that lives at the coral reef.
