Paseo de las Sirenas Becomes a New Isla Mujeres Attraction

Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo — Just days after its inauguration, the Paseo de las Sirenas has become one of Isla Mujeres’ newest tourist attractions, welcoming local families and visitors every day to the renovated promenade overlooking the Caribbean Sea.

Located on the Malecón Oriente, the Paseo de las Sirenas has turned into a new gathering place for strolling, taking in the scenery and posing for photographs beside the six mermaid sculptures installed along the walkway.

The municipal government led by Mayor Atenea Gómez Ricalde overhauled the area with a lookout point, the Obelisk of Peace, street furniture, green spaces, palapas and designated areas for rest and recreation at one of Isla Mujeres’ most emblematic spots.

The project also sets aside space for local entrepreneurs and vendors, part of an effort to ensure tourism activity creates opportunities and greater spending for island families.

Gómez said the transformation of the Malecón Oriente forms part of a broader program of public works aimed at strengthening the island’s urban image, reclaiming public spaces and creating new attractions that round out Isla Mujeres’ tourism offerings.

“The Paseo de las Sirenas is a space designed for our people and for those who visit us; a place to walk, to gather, to enjoy our beautiful Caribbean Sea and to take home a memory of Isla Mujeres,” the mayor said.
