Visual artist and muralist Nadia Trujillo Villada has recently undertaken a project to rejuvenate the iconic letters at the tourist stop in Punta Sur, Isla Mujeres. This initiative is part of the local government's efforts to preserve and enhance the island's tourist attractions.

The project, led by Atenea Gómez Ricalde, the Mayor of Isla Mujeres, involved a comprehensive renovation of the letters. Villada used hues that embody the pristine, tranquil sands of Isla Mujeres, the grandeur of the sea turtle and the jaguar, and the essence of the fishermen's lifestyle. This artwork accentuates the unique appeal and authentic attractions of the destination.

This renovation aligns with the New Agreement for the Welfare and Development of Quintana Roo, a state-wide initiative championed by Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa. The agreement aims to ensure that the success of the tourism industry benefits all residents of the state, promoting shared prosperity. The actions taken by the Isla Mujeres City Council underscore their commitment to this goal.
