Lonely Planet review for San Gervasio
This Maya complex is Cozumel’s only preserved ruins, and a prime example of the local government’s efforts to extract dollars out of cruise-ship passengers. San Gervasio is thought to have been the site of the sanctuary of Ixchel, goddess of fertility, and thus an important pilgrimage site at which Maya women worshipped. But its structures are small and crude, and the clay idols of Ixchel were long ago destroyed by the Spaniards.
