Great Navigators

As a tribute to the former Great Navigators, and after months of training, the oarsmen are ready to cross the sea from Xcaret, known as Polé among the Maya, to reach the island of Cozumel.

The 380 navigators go forward through a demanding training that lasts for months before taking to the sea on a journey where personality, determination, and teamwork will be put on a test.

These Great Navigators will pay tribute to Ixchel, the Maya goddess of fertility, the moon, and pregnancy, to receive her message and take it back to their communities. Join us to this event at Xcaret on May 22nd and 23rd, while experiencing an ancient tradition.
