Nature is giving the coasts of the Mexican Caribbean a unique raw material: sargassum. If anything characterizes Mexicans is the enormous creativity and adaptability that they have. Therefore, it’s not surprising that some entrepreneurs and brands have used to good advantage the arrival of sargassum to create different kinds of products and innovations with it. But, what can sargassum seaweed be used for? Faced with this natural phenomenon, different industries and specialists have highlighted some of the benefits that sargassum has. For example, it contains alginic acid, which can be applied as a thickener and emulsifier in the food industry; it has cellulose and hemicellulose, which are raw materials of paper; it generates ethanol, one of the main compounds for biofuel; and it was discovered that its properties also make it an excellent fertilizer. Knowing all this, Mexicans got their hands to work to take advantage of the sargassum that is arriving at the coasts, and turn it into eco-friendly products. Here are some examples of the most practical and creative uses of sargassum seaweed …

Deemed by some archaeologists as one of the most significant historical sites on the Yucatan Peninsula, Coba will take you on a fascinating journey through the ancient world of the Mayan culture. Surrounded by two large lagoons and lush vegetation, this site was not actually discovered by archaeologists until the mid 1800s because of its remote location in the jungle. It was not closely studied until the 1920s due to the dense jungle as well as the Caste War that was going on. The site is still mostly unexcavated, making a visit to this Mayan gem even more spectacular. Coba has only been open as an archaeological site since 1973, and even though it is estimated that there are roughly 6,000 structures in the encompassing area, there are only three main settlements that are available for viewing to the public. During your next getaway to Cancun, be sure to spend some time at this splendid archaeological site. Ancient History At the height of its power, which was between 600 and 900 A.D., the population of …
