San Gervasio, Maya archaeological site in San Miguel de Cozumel, Mexico.
The San Gervasio complex spans across 2 square miles with four main architectural groups featuring temples, residential buildings, and ceremonial structures.
The settlement originated around 100 BCE and reached its peak during the Terminal Classic period between 900-1200 CE as a significant religious center.
Women from across the Maya territory traveled to San Gervasio to make offerings at the temples dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of fertility and medicine.
The archaeological site operates daily from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, with entrance fees of approximately 17.30 USD including local community access charges.
Las Manitas building contains red handprints on its walls and served as the residence of the halach uinic, the Maya ruler of the region.
