Summary/Abstract: The pilgrimage of the road of the serpent takes place when a group of travelers decides to take a tour that they see as sacred and magical; also known as the ruta sagrada Olmeca or ruta original, the road of the serpent is associated with a compound of cosmogonic and symbolic beliefs that reveal themselves as this tradition develops, from the Santa Marta tour starting at Punta San Juan to the archeological zone of Tres Zapotes, to the rituals that take place during the trip.
