San Gervasio, Cozumel
Most Mayan sites were found deep in the interior of their lands, with the exception of structures like Tumba del Caracol, San Gervasio was built roughly two miles from the nearest coast. It is believed that no human sacrifices were made at this location, mostly because there is no evidence of such a practice happening here; no skeletal remains, no artifacts, and no (human) sacrificial alter. Once in their life Mayan women would travel to San Gervasio and offer their sacrifices to Ix Chel, an aged deity of childbirth, and fertility. Like many Mayan sites, there was only one way in and out of San Gervasio. In this case it was through the arch pictured below. A white limestone road was be illuminated by the full moon which would lead travelers to the sacred site, where it is said that on a full moon, the moon appeared over the alter.
