This archeological site dates to about 800-1000 AD. The more interesting structures are those in Group II and Group III.

In addition to a small marine aquarium, San Miguel de Cozumel, the island's "capital" on the north-west side, has an interesting museum, the Museo de la Isla (Avda. Rafael E. Melgar/C. 6 Norte). Exhibits reflect the island's geography and history, as well as the fascinating world beneath the sea.
