Templo de Ixchel (Punta Sur)
Najlepší čas na návštevu
Go right when the park opens at 8:00 AM to beat the cruise ship crowds that arrive around 10:30 AM. Early morning also gives you the calmest waters for seeing sea turtles and rays in the shallow areas below the cliffs.

O
Rýchle fakty: Nachádza sa na úplne južnom cípe ostrova, tento malý mayský chrám bol zasvätený Ixchel, bohyni mesiaca, plodnosti a medicíny. Počas neskorého mayského obdobia sem ženy putovali, aby sa modlili a obetovali malé figurky plodnosti, pričom na tomto mieste bolo objavených viac ako 3 000 týchto artefaktov.
Zaujímavosti: Na rozdiel od prestavaných chrámov v neďalekých ruinách, táto stavba zostáva presne taká, ako bola, keď ju španielski conquistadori prvýkrát zbadali zo svojich lodí v 16. storočí. Zvetraná vápencová plošina sedí priamo na okraji útesov, kde vietor a búriace vlny po stáročia obrusovali kameň do hladka, čo mu dáva roztopený, organický vzhľad, ktorý pôsobí živo.
Insiderské tipy
- Skip the small on-site museum unless you have extra time, the real experience is outside at the temple and cliffs.
- Stand at the northern edge of the temple platform for the best photo of the structure with turquoise water as your backdrop.
- Wear sturdy shoes with grip the limestone rocks get slippery from sea spray, especially near the cliff edges.
- Bring a reusable water bottle there are no shops inside the park and the tropical sun is intense even with ocean breezes.
