History of the place and interesting facts

Cozumel has a rich history dating back to the Maya, who revered the island as a sacred place and established its centre for religious ceremonies and pilgrimages. The first Spanish explorers reached Cozumel in the early 16th century, which led to colonisation by Europeans.

The island was an important harbour for trade in the 19th century and developed into a popular destination for cruise ships. Today, the remains of the Mayan civilisation, including the archaeological site of San Gervasio, bear witness to the island's history.
