The Sacred Mayan Journey is Coming May
http://www.travesiasagradamaya.com.mx/
The Annual Sacred Mayan Journey is an event that recreates one of the most ancient traditions of the Mayan culture; the annual pilgrimage of the Mayan rowers, who braved the ocean on their canoes and crossed to the island of Cozumel. They did it to worship the Goddess Ixchel by taking her offerings in search of her divine message for the Mayan people.
The Opening ceremony of The Annual Sacred Mayan Journey takes place in X’Caret Park on an evening in May. Early the next morning, approximately four hundred men and women canoes leave from Playa del Carmen in canoes, arriving in Cozumel mid-day. The participants are from Solidaridad (Playa), Tulum, and Cozumel. Cozumel usually has fifteen women and fifteen men representing our island. That evening a traditional ceremony is reenacted in Chankanaab Park. Early the following morning, the canoes start their trip back to the mainland.
