Archaeologists believe that Isla Mujeres was a sanctuary for Mayan virgins, and that Mayan women were required to make a pilgrimage there as part of their rite of passage into womanhood. The ruins of a Mayan temple are located on the southern tip of the island. It is thought that the temple was dedicated to the Mayan fertility goddess Ixchel.Isla Mujeres was also a stronghold for pirates. You can visit the pirate Mundaca's hacienda. If you visit the graveyard located on the northern end of the island, you will find various head stones engraved with skull and crossbones.

The Island regained fame in the 70's when the caves of the sleeping sharks were brought to the world's attention by Jaques Cousteau. The Island is also known for excellent snorkeling.
