Discover the History of COZUMEL

This island has a rich history and the people from Cozumel are faithful guardians of their cultural traditions. During the 3rd century D.C. Maya groups came from Petén, region of northern Guatemala. And in some places of the island there are vestiges of this culture, especially in the area known as Santa Rita and part of San Gervasio. In the 7th century AD, during the Late Classic period, the Mayan-putunes migrated from southern Campeche and Tabasco to Cozumel, changing the social organization, the architecture and the religion. – Archaeological Sites in Quintana Roo

There were numerous temples throughout the island, more than 30 archaeological sites have been documented, but there were six main settlements: Muluk Mul (Eleven Hills), it was a commercial port located near the cove; Xamanha (Northland), known today as Cozumel City, was the main port, a commercial center and the place where the pilgrims arrived to the island; Tantun Cuzamil (flat stone of the place of the swallows) religious and administrative center known today as San Gervasio; Oycib (nest or the place of honey) agricultural center, known today as The Cedral; El Caracol and Castillo Real.

Cozumel
Cozumel

The first Spanish expedition to visit Cozumel was led by Juan de Grijalva in 1518, and he was amazed at the signs of civilization shown everywhere, especially in the architecture. The Spanish captain named the island “Isla de la Santa Cruz” (Holy Cross Island) and the first Catholic mass in Meso-America was celebrated, on May 6, 1518, at a location currently named Las Casitas (little houses). During colonial times, the island was practically uninhabited and by the early 17th century pirates had discovered Cozumel and used it as a safe harbor.

The island was resettled in 1848, when refugees escaping the tumult of the Caste War of Yucatán arrived to Cozumel. The new settlers became fishermen and farmers growing fruits, henequen and gum. In the mid-20th century, the crystal clear waters and the amazing reefs of Cozumel brought the attention of diving enthusiasts. In the late 1960s the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau visit the island and turned Cozumel into an internationally recognized dive destination, now ranked as one of the top five scuba diving areas in the world.

In the 1970s the principal cruise lines include Cozumel into their itineraries, and became the most important cruiseline destinations in Mexico. Cozumel has been able to preserve an austere simplicity, enveloped in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of a lovely fishing village.

Cozumel became an important stop on the coastal trade route that extended from the Gulf of Mexico to the Central American Caribbean coastal towns. With this changes came the cult of Ixchel, goddess of the moon, the love, the birth and the fertility. Maya women seeking to ensure a fruitful marriage would travel to the sanctuary of Ixchel on Cozumel, so it became the most important place of pilgrimage throughout the Mayan world, after Chichén Itzá.

The Spanish explorers encountered complex cities rivaling or surpassing those in Europe, an extensive knowledge in the medical field, remarkable artistic and scientific achievements, and the Mayan calendar more accurate than the Gregorian calendar.
