SACRED JOURNEY 2025

Preparations for the Sacred Journey 2025 have begun. The brave canoeists will embark on the ancestral journey across the Caribbean Sea to the island of Cozumel. There, they will visit the oracle of the goddess Ixchel, just as the ancient inhabitants of the region did in a rite that is more than 500 years old.

The ceremony begins with the purification and healing formalities carried out by priests and which take place in Polé, an ancient pre-Hispanic port that was located in the place we now know as Xcaret.

On a journey that recalls the greatness of the Itza people who established important trade routes, the canoeists will pay tribute to Ixchel, the deity identified with fertility, the moon and gestation. In Cozumel, while presenting offerings, they will seek the advice and wisdom of the goddess through her oracle, and then make the return trip and bring the good news to their communities.

THE ORACLE

Ixchel was one of the primary pre-Hispanic goddesses when the Spanish arrived in the region, and the pilgrimages to her sanctuaries outstood. Most scholars believe the Oracle was in the archaeological zone of San Gervasio in Cozumel.
