Gervasio is the largest of

was the hub of the regional sea trade, as well as the destination
of pilgrims for the worship of the goddess Ixchel. San
Gervasio was the administrative seat of Cozumel and a
network of roads, or "sacbés", connected
the site with the island's east coast and with nearby coves
where merchant canoes put ashore
