Embark on an incredible Jeep excursion to the ancient San Gervasio Mayan Ruins, where history and adventure come together.

This unforgettable trip offers the perfect mix of off-road excitement and cultural discovery, giving you the chance to uncover the mysteries of Cozumel’s past in an enchanting and untouched setting.
Your adventure begins by meeting your knowledgeable guide at the meeting point near your cruise ship terminal, where you’ll be escorted to your comfortable Jeep to begin your ride. Enjoy a peaceful, scenic drive to your first and most important stop: the San Gervasio Mayan Ruins. Once there, step back in time and explore the remnants of a once-thriving Mayan city, dedicated to Ixchel, the goddess of fertility and the moon. This is an ideal stop for those eager to learn about the Mayan culture, deeply connected to science, nature, and their belief in the power of the stars, moon, and sun. Wander through ancient stone structures, hidden temples, and sacred plazas while you immerse yourself in the significance of the site. Let the captivating history of this incredible civilization come to life. Feel free to explore the ruins on your own, but if you'd like to dive deeper into the history, certified guides are available for an additional fee of $25 (payable on-site).
Your journey continues to the island’s east side, where you’ll visit "El Mirador," a stunning natural rock formation offering breathtaking views and fantastic photo opportunities. Be sure to capture the moment with plenty of photos. Next, you’ll head to San Martín Beach to enjoy a delicious lunch. You’ll have the option to purchase refreshing drinks to complement your meal. Since this is a private excursion, you can also make changes to the itinerary—just discuss any ideas with your guide upon arrival!
At the end of your adventure, hop back into your Jeep and follow your guide back to the original meeting point, where you’ll be returned safely to your cruise ship. If time permits, feel free to explore Cozumel City at your own leisure.
