Begin your adventure at Plaza Las Fuentes, just outside Costa Maya Port, departing one hour after your cruise ship arrives. Board your transport for an approximately 50-minute journey into the Mayan jungle towards the ancient city of Chacchoben. After a brief facilities break, follow your guide into this fascinating archaeological site, with origins dating back to around 200 BC. Walk along jungle trails as ancient temples and ceremonial structures emerge through the tropical vegetation, while your guide shares the history, traditions and stories of the Maya who once called Chacchoben home. Discover the contrast between restored monuments and archaeological structures still covered by the jungle, and explore highlights including the Gran Basamento, where you can walk up to discover the temples above.

From Chacchoben, continue approximately 25 minutes to Bacalar, trading ancient temples and jungle trails for the brilliant blue waters of the famous Seven Colour Lagoon.
