From the moment your cruise ship arrives at the Port of Costa Maya, your adventure in the Mexican Caribbean begins. Just outside the port lies the charming seaside town of Mahahual, a small but lively destination that bursts with energy whenever cruise ships arrive.

After meeting your local team at the office, you’ll receive a warm Caribbean welcome and start your day with a refreshing complimentary drink. While you relax and take in the tropical atmosphere, your driver and professional guide will prepare your comfortable transportation for the journey ahead.

Your adventure continues with a scenic 50–55 minute drive through the lush jungle landscape, where the dense greenery hides the secrets of an ancient world. Soon you’ll arrive at the impressive Chacchoben Mayan Ruins, one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the region.

Surrounded by towering trees and tropical forest, these ancient pyramids rise above the jungle canopy just as they did more than a thousand years ago. As you explore the site, your expert guide will bring the ancient Maya civilization to life, sharing stories of their traditions, achievements, and the powerful culture that once flourished here.

But the adventure doesn’t end there. After exploring the ruins, your driver will take you to your next destination — the breathtaking Bacalar Lagoon, famously known as the Lagoon of Seven Colors. Here, you’ll board a boat for a two-hour tour across its spectacular turquoise waters, where shifting shades of blue create one of the most stunning landscapes in Mexico.

As you glide across the lagoon, you’ll marvel at its incredible colors and discover its unique underwater cenotes — natural freshwater sinkholes that give the lagoon its remarkable depth and beauty. Along the way, you’ll have time to relax, soak in the views, and experience one of the most extraordinary natural wonders of the Mexican Caribbean.

At the end of this unforgettable adventure, you’ll return comfortably to the Port of Costa Maya, bringing with you incredible memories of ancient pyramids, jungle landscapes, and the dazzling blues of Bacalar.
