Itinerary

1. Zona Arqueologica De Chacchoben
Your adventure begins one hour after your cruise arrives at Costa Maya Port. Enjoy the scenic 50-minute drive to Chacchoben, an ancient Maya site dating back to around 200 BC. Follow your certified guide into the ceremonial heart of Chacchoben, a Maya city that reached its peak around 300 AD. Explore impressive temples and plazas while discovering the stories, beliefs and traditions of the civilization that once flourished here. Walk beneath the jungle canopy as restored structures rise alongside mysterious mounds still covered by vegetation. Discover native plants, tropical birds and, with a little luck, spider monkeys in the trees. Continue to the Gran Basamento, the ritual heart of Chacchoben, for spectacular views of Temple One and the surrounding jungle as your guide brings the ancient city to life. After your visit, enjoy time to browse local crafts and souvenirs before relaxing on the 50-minute drive back to Costa Maya, filled with memories of the ancient Maya world.
