While not as impressive as Tulum or Chichen Itza, San Gervasio provides you with a sense of the Mayan culture and history. San Gervasio was
once the island's capital dedicated to the goddess Ix Chel who was the wife of Itzamma, the Mayan God above all. The structures are mainly foundations of small temples and shrines. Entrance is approximately $3 dollars (27 pesos) and bilingual guides can be hired if so desired. Take Avenue Juarez until you intersect with the San
Gervasio access road and head north for approximately five miles.
