Highlights
Experience two very different sides of Costa Maya in one shore excursion, combining local Mayan culture with the natural beauty of Bacalar Lagoon.
Visit Chacchoben Village and meet a local Mayan family with deep roots in the region. Learn about their traditions and daily life, discover how traditional tortillas are made, try making your own, and enjoy a home-cooked lunch prepared with local ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations.
Then, continue to Bacalar Lagoon, the famous Seven Color Lagoon and once a haven for pirates. Swim in its refreshing freshwater, grab a kayak, or simply relax by the lagoon with a drink and enjoy the scenery.
Designed for cruise ship guests visiting Costa Maya, this shore excursion offers a great mix of local culture, traditional food, and relaxation in a single day.
