The Sacred Mayan Journey

Reliving the past to enhance the future

On 23, 24 and 25 of May will be held, for the seventh consecutive year, the Sacred Mayan Journey, which recreates the trip that the ancient Maya used to carry out from Xcaret and Xel-Há to Cozumel to honor the sea and Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of love and fertility. This year, 334 canoeists, on board 31 vessels are those who will perform this great journey for the delighting of locals and visitors.

Chankanaab Park will be the main spot in Cozumel to receive the canoeists in land, welcome them around 1:00 pm Friday the 24th with ancient Mayan dances and ceremonies, directed by the Halach Uinik, the supreme boss.

Mayan culture, dress, ceremonies, canoes, parks and the spectacular scenery of the Mayan forest at Cozumel, as well as the wonderful sea of the Mexican Caribbean create together the perfect scenery to make this a wonderful event that captivates all who participate in it, as actors or spectators, and enhance the presence of one of the most mysterious and extraordinary of the ancient civilizations.
