Views & shopping around downtown Cozumel The morning was spent shopping & walking around. In the afternoon, a few of us took a
private taxi tour |
||
| The San Gervasio ruins in Cozumel. The entrance fee was 21.55 pesos ($2.00 US) to the park and 37.00 pesos ($3.45 US) to the ruins. The history of San Gervasio dates back to 300-400 AD. During the period of 1000 - 1200 AD, the Itzas dominated Cozumel, from which point they controlled the trade between Yucatan and the region. Archaeological evidence exists which indicates that the urban settlement model of San Gervasio was copied from the capital of the Itza. The ruins were nice but not as impressive as other ruins such as the Mayan ruins of Tulum. | |||
