See InformationAn Oasis of Faith in the Jungle
Far from the noise of the Hotel Zone, hidden among Cancun's native vegetation, lies a place that has captivated thousands of hearts: the Sanctuary of the Virgin Mary Undoer of Knots.
This sanctuary is not a conventional church. It is an open-air space, rustic and built with local wood, designed to connect with nature and spirituality. It is famous for the thousands of white ribbons that the faithful hang as offerings.
Why "Undoer of Knots"?
This Marian devotion has its origins in Germany (18th century) and became hugely popular in Latin America thanks to Pope Francis. The image represents the Virgin concentrated untying knots from a white ribbon, surrounded by angels.
Symbolism: The knots represent the problems of daily life. Pilgrims arrive at this sanctuary in Cancun seeking peace, leaving their petitions on the ribbons, and thanking for favors received.
