Immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of the beautiful island of Cozumel during your stay with us. At The Explorean Cozumel, we pride ourselves on offering you not only a vacation experience, but also an opportunity to explore and appreciate the cultural richness of this region.

Cozumel, known as the "Island of Swallows" in the Mayan language, has a fascinating history dating back thousands of years. Once inhabited by the Mayans, whose influence can still be felt in the architecture, cuisine, and local traditions, Cozumel is a cultural treasure waiting to be discovered. 

During your stay, we encourage you to explore:  

• San Gervasio: ancient Mayan ruins, a sacred site dedicated to the Mayan goddess of love and fertility Ixchel. Pilgrimages were made by canoe from the mainland to visit her temple in San Gervasio.
• San Miguel de Cozumel: Picturesque town with colorful craft shops, restaurants with delicious traditional food, and friendly people who will be happy to share their stories and traditions with you. 

Get ready to discover the magic of Cozumel and immerse yourself in its fascinating culture during your stay at The Explorean Cozumel!
