Just outside the terminal lies the charming seaside village of Mahahual, a colorful Caribbean destination that truly comes alive when cruise ships arrive.
After meeting your team at the local office, you’ll receive a warm welcome and start your day the Caribbean way—with a refreshing complimentary drink in hand. As you relax and take in the tropical atmosphere, your professional driver and expert guide will prepare your comfortable transportation for the journey ahead.
Soon, your adventure continues with a scenic drive through the lush jungle landscape of Costa Maya. Along the way, you’ll leave the coastline behind and venture deep into the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula, where your first destination awaits: the magnificent Chacchoben Mayan Ruins.
Hidden within dense tropical forest, this ancient archaeological site is one of the most important and fascinating Mayan cities in the region. As you walk along the jungle pathways and stand before towering temples that have watched over the land for centuries, your knowledgeable guide will bring the ancient Maya world to life—sharing captivating stories about their culture, traditions, and remarkable achievements.
After uncovering the secrets of this incredible civilization, you’ll have the option to make a relaxing stop at a local beach club in Mahahual. Here you can unwind by the Caribbean Sea, swim in the turquoise waters, or enjoy food and drinks at your own expense while soaking in the laid-back beach atmosphere.
If you prefer, you may also choose to return directly to the cruise port after visiting the ruins—simply let your guide know, and they will be happy to assist with your return.
