Overview
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.
Meeting and Pickup
Your tour will depart one hour after your cruise docks, starting from the conveniently located Plaza Las Fuentes, just outside the Port. Please consider the total time to walk from your cruise to the excursion office is about 15 minutes.
