Quintana Roo‘s Pearls - The Coral Islands (Part 4)- Cozumel (Cuzamil); The Swallows’ Island (Part 1)
Cozumel is the biggest and also the oldest island in the Mexican Caribbean. Cozumel is, besides, the highest of all. It was first settled by the Putun and it was an important chiefdom in what today is Quintana Roo.
Cozumel, in those days, was an especially important settlement for the Putun, that’s why we can find so many vestiges of this ancient culture here. Among these ancient cities, there is, of course, a Shrine to Ix-chel, goddess of fertility, abundance, and flood.
