About

Although not as popular as Chichén Itzá, these ancient Mayan ruins are noteworthy in their own right, as this is the site where Mayan women paid tribute to the goddess of love and fertility.

Carnival shore excursion

Cesar was our guide and we booked through Carnival. These ruins are more manageable than Tulum. We were bused to the site and given a brief city tour. Only water can be brought into the Mayan site. Restrooms were clean. This is a moderate walking...More

Make sure and have a guide who isn't in a rush

This site was really interesting and neat, but our tour guide was so rushed to get us through and back to the shops that we missed half of the tour options - I eventually walked away so I could tour on my own.

Do yourselves a favor and pay for the guided tour. We found our guide very knowledgeable and personable. She spoke English very well and added a bit of family history into her presentation, with just theright amount of humor added in. The taxi driver stayed...More

Don't pass this up

I think a lot of people miss out on this site because their focus is on Chichen Itza or Tulum (which are amazing), but San Gervasio is an important part of Mayan history and worth a visit. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes, wear light clothing,...More

Good history, interesting ruins.

Its only $9.50 US and if you like the history and archaeological ruins, this is your place. Grab a cold beer when you are done. Bonus.

Good Site for Mayan Ruins

San Gervasio while not as spectacular as some of the other Mayan Ruins is a very interesting site. One thing is to bring mosquito repellent with you.

I get motion sick, so I am wondering if the trip from the cruise port to the San Gervasio site is on a winding road or if part of the travel could make me car/bus sick?

October 29, 2018|

Answer

It's been several months, but I do NOT remember any extremely twisting roads. The island is not very big, and majors roads run along the coast and bisect the island in the middle. I think you'll be fine.

My family and I are going on a Disney cruise to cozemel. We are doing an excursion that ends at 12. How far are the ruins to the port?

October 1, 2018|

Answer

The ruins are about a 45 minute drive away from the port. You can either book an excursion thru the cruise lines, hire a private driver for a couple of hours, or take a trip thru many available as you get off the ship.
