The Colombian councilors received a copy of the book on the history of Puerto Morelos and thanked the warm reception, likewise they recognized the progress that this municipality has achieved in a few years, since it has been strengthened as a destination with its own identity.

For his part, the director of Tourism, Hector Tamayo, recalled that the first talks on twinning took place last year in the Tourist Caravan of Medellin, organized by the Hotel Association of Cancun and Puerto Morelos.

“At that time we carried out an intense promotional activity in that Colombian city and a meeting was held with Manuel Moreno, second vice president of the Council of Medellín; We also met with other Colombian councilors to talk about Puerto Morelos, “he said.
