The Mayans were settled in here way back in the day, starting from AD300. In the post-classic period, Cozumel thrived as a trade center and, very significantly, a ceremonial site. Mayan women all over the Yucatán Peninsula and beyond made pilgrimages here to pay tribute to Ixchel, the goddess of fertility and the moon, at a temple erected in her honor at San Gervasio, near the center of the island.
