Zona Arqueologica De Chaachoben
Your adventure begins one hour after your cruise ship arrives in port, giving you enough time to disembark and make your way to the meeting point.
Travel from Costa Maya into the tropical jungle to explore the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins, an ancient Maya city dating back to around 200 BC. Follow your guide through the archaeological site as you discover impressive temples and ceremonial structures while learning about the history and culture of the Maya civilization.
Along the way, experience the surrounding jungle and keep an eye out for the native flora and wildlife that make Chacchoben much more than an archaeological visit.

Lake Bacalar
After exploring Chacchoben, continue your journey to Bacalar Lagoon, located approximately 30 minutes from the archaeological site.
Visit Bacalar Lagoon, the famous Lagoon of Seven Colors, once a strategic route and haven for pirates. Enjoy time to swim in its refreshing waters, use one of the complimentary kayaks when available, or simply relax by the lagoon and take in the views.
During your visit, enjoy delicious fajitas and a refreshing drink by the water before beginning the journey back to Costa Maya.
Así queda mucho más transparente: Costa Maya → traslado a Chacchoben → visita → traslado a Bacalar → visita → regreso a Costa Maya.
