Ancient Chacchoben Mayan Ruins Tour from Costa Maya Discount Tickets

Overview

As soon as your cruise ship arrives in Costa Maya, travel through history and discover the ancient Maya city of Chacchoben, hidden among the tropical jungle. Walk through the ceremonial heart of the city, past ancient temples, plazas, and structures once used by Maya nobles, priests, and rulers, while your guide brings Chacchoben’s history, architecture, and legends to life. Follow the jungle trails and climb the Gran Basamento, where impressive structures and views of Temple One rising above the surrounding jungle reveal a different perspective of this ancient city. Chacchoben is also alive with nature. Learn about native plants, listen for tropical birds, and keep an eye on the treetops for spider monkeys that inhabit the area. If you want to discover the Maya history and culture behind Costa Maya, Chacchoben is one of our favorite places to experience it.
