Highlights

As your cruise arrives in Costa Maya, a day of local culture, traditional flavors, and the turquoise waters of Bacalar awaits beyond the port.


Spend time with a local Maya family in Chacchoben Village, where traditions are still part of everyday life. Learn about local plants and traditional home remedies still used today, try making a tortilla by hand, discover family recipes and ingredients, and share an authentic home-cooked Maya lunch with your hosts.


From Chacchoben, the day continues at Bacalar’s Seven Color Lagoon, whose waterways once served as a haven and passage for Caribbean pirates. Spend nearly two hours swimming, kayaking, floating on a tube, or simply relaxing by the water with a refreshing drink before returning to Costa Maya.

Itinerary

  • Chacchoben

    2 hours 45 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Your adventure begins with transportation from Costa Maya, departing approximately 1 hour after your cruise ship arrives in port. Enjoy the approximately 50-minute drive to Chacchoben village, where you’ll meet a local Maya family and discover a more personal side of Costa Maya’s culture. Spend approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes with your hosts, learning about their traditions and daily life. Watch a traditional tortilla-making demonstration and try making your own, while discovering the fresh ingredients, local spices, and family recipes used in Maya cooking. Then sit down for an authentic home-cooked lunch prepared especially for your visit, including traditional tamales and other dishes made with fresh local ingredients. Add a little habanero sauce if you’re feeling adventurous! After lunch, continue approximately 25 minutes to Bacalar Lagoon for the second part of your adventure.
  • Lago Bacalar (Lake of the Seven Colors)

    2 hours 45 minsAdmission Ticket Included
    After your Mayan Experience, continue to the spectacular Bacalar Seven Color Lagoon, famous for its crystal-clear waters and beautiful shades of turquoise. Spend approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes by the lagoon and enjoy it your way. Take a refreshing swim, grab a kayak and explore the calm waters, float on a tube, or settle into a lounger with your favorite drink while enjoying the views. This is your time to slow down and experience the natural beauty of Bacalar after a morning filled with Maya culture and local flavors.
