| Cozumel
(Mayan: Island of the Swallows) is an island in the Caribbean Sea off the
eastern coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, opposite Playa del
Carmen. It is one of the eight municipalities (municipios) of the state
of Quintana Roo. Cozumel is a popular tourist destination renowned for
its scuba diving. The main town on the island is San Miguel.
The
island is about 48 km (30 miles) north-south and 16 km (10 miles) east-west,
and is the largest island of Mexico. It is about 20 km (12 miles) from
the mainland, and some 60 km (36 miles) south of Cancún. Nearly
everybody in Cozumel lives in the town of San Miguel (pop. est. 90,000
in 2003), which is on the western shore. The rest of the island is low,
flat, and densely vegetated.
The
Maya are believed to have first settled Cozumel by the early part of the
1st millennium AD, and older Preclassic Olmec artifacts have been found
on the island as well. The island was sacred to Ix Chel, the Maya Moon
Goddess, and the temples here were a place of pilgrimage, especially by
women desiring fertility. There are a number of ruins on the island, most
from the Post-Classic period. |

The
largest Maya ruins on the island were bulldozed to make way for an airplane
runway during World War II. The ruins of San Gervasio are located approximately
at the center of the island and are the largest remaining ruins.
The
first Spanish visitor was Juan de Grijalva in 1518, and in the following
year Hernán Cortés came with a fleet and destroyed many Maya
temples. Some 40,000 Maya lived on the island then, but smallpox devastated
them and by 1570 only 30 were left alive. In the ensuing years Cozumel
was nearly deserted, used as a hideout by pirates from time to time.
In 1848, the Caste War of Yucatán resulted in resettlement by refugees
escaping the tumult. A plaque at the Museo Cozumel states Abraham Lincoln
as U.S. president was close to purchasing the island of Cozumel as a place
to send the freed slaves. The continued war in the Yucatan forced him to
change his mind... read
