Your adventure begins one hour after your cruise arrives at Costa Maya Port. Enjoy the 50-minute drive to Chacchoben village, where you’ll discover a living side of Maya culture. Meet a Maya family and step into their daily life, discovering traditions and knowledge passed down through generations. Learn how tortillas are made — then roll up your sleeves and make your own alongside your hosts. Gather around the table for a home-cooked traditional lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients, Maya spices and family recipes passed down through generations. Taste traditional tamales and, if you’re feeling adventurous, add some homemade habanero sauce. This is your chance to share traditions, flavors and stories with a Maya family and experience a side of Costa Maya beyond the usual tourist trail. After sharing stories and a meal with the wonderful family who welcomed you, continue on a scenic 25-minute drive to Bacalar’s Seven Color Lagoon, where a refreshing afternoon awaits.
