More than 500 life-size sculptures rest on the seafloor between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, forming an artificial reef that doubles as one of the world's largest underwater art museums.

Know before you go

  • Snorkel tours reach the shallower Manchones Reef gallery; scuba dives are needed for the deeper Nizuc Reef installations.
  • Book through a licensed tour operator — the museum is spread across a protected marine park.
  • Visibility is best in the morning before wind picks up later in the day.
