The Garden of Aunt Isabel (Spanish: El jardín de la tía Isabel) is a 1971 Mexican historical drama film directed by Felipe Cazals and starring Jorge Martínez de Hoyos, Claudio Brook and Ofelia Guilmáin.[1] During the early 16th century, two Spanish ships are wrecked on the Mexican coast. A group of survivors set out on a trek to try to locate a famed El Dorado.

Most of the locations used were around the Maya archeological zone near Tulum, but some took place on Cozumel. Locals claim the film's animal handler released boa constrictors used in the film on the island after production wrapped, explaining the species' introduction there.[2]
