Why go

The remains make the coast's older connection to Cozumel visible. Look for Group A by the inlet and the rounded-corner coastal platforms, then read the site as a former departure point rather than as part of the neighboring park's attractions.

What to look for

  • Group A structures beside the inlet
  • Rounded-corner platforms from the former coastal port
  • The port's position facing the route to Cozumel

Useful to know

  • Use the archaeological site's official information when planning; a Xcaret Park ticket is a different product.
  • Confirm the required reservation procedure with INAH before making the trip.
