Chankanaab Park is one of the greatest natural treasures in Cozumel. Chankanaab was designated in 1980 as a National Park as well as a refuge area for protection of the marine life of the western coast of the Island of Cozumel. Chakanaab Park acquired itsname from the Chankanaab lagoon whose meaning in Mayan dialectis “small sea” is a world-renowned ecosystem and natural aquarium.
Ocean streams foster the growth of coral as well as the development of large communities of fish, mollusks and crustaceans. Its survival depends mostly on the constantflow of water through amazing under water caves.At ChankanaabPark you can explore all the natural areas like a botanical garden, archaeological replicas, natural aviary, dolphins and see lions, little Mayan house, and all the services that you required.source:mexicancaribbean.com

At the biggest archaeological site on the island you can be part of the Mayan culture and its mysteries (see Mayan magic Mexico). San Gervasio was a strategic point for the commercial and political development of its era and also a sacred Mayan center. Inhabited from 200 A.D. until the Spanish conquest, San Gervasio was a sanctuary of the Goddess Ixchel, the fertility goddess, drawing pilgrims from the entire Mayan world to worship her. source:mexicancaribbean.com
