May 22-23
For the ninth year running, visitors to the Mexican Caribbean in late May have the opportunity to witness the Travesía Sagrada Maya, the reenactment of an ancient Mayan pilgrimage to the sacred island of Cozumel to worship at the shrine of Ixchel, the goddess of the moon, fertility and childbirth. The rituals date from the Late Post-Classic period of Mayan history AD 1250-1519.
After six months of arduous training, 350 oarsmen from Cancún, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and further afield will board 35 authentic Mayan canoes made from hollowed out logs and make the crossing to Cozumel.
The Sacred Mayan Journey begins with an evening event in Xcaret on May 21. The ancient temples in the park form the backdrop to a representation of the Ki-Huic or ancient market, a tribute to the importance of the Mexican Caribbean coast and Cozumel in the Mayan trade empire. There will be music, dance, rituals, offerings of food, and displays of the most important trade goods.
At dawn on May 22, the oarsmen will set sail for Cozumel with the blessing of Mayan priests. The fleet of canoes is expected to arrive in Cozumel at around 1 p.m. on the same day and the pilgrims make their way to the shrine of Ixchel. On May 23 they leave the island en route for Xcaret where they are greeted with great joy.
