Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Discover the history of Cozumel on a panoramic drive and enter the mystic world of the Mayan civilization. The ancient ruins of San Gervasio offer a visual sensory experience that sharply contrasts with the olfactory and taste sensations that you will encounter at the Mayan Cacao Company, A scenic drive brings you to the ruins of San Gervasio, the largest and most important of the Mayan settlements on the island of Cozumel. Follow your guide through the ruins which served as a religious center, and learn about the deity Ixchel, goddess of fertility and health. You will see fragments of the temples and sculptures at this archaeological site, as well as the ruins of nine buildings connected by three roads. A drive around the island showcases its many facets. On the less inhabited side of the island you will stop at El Mirador, a rocky formation carved out by the ocean. Admire the view of the sea from here. An interactive visit to Mayan Cacao Company is your opportunity to learn about the history of chocolate, including the manufacturing process and a delicious tasting.
