Discover one of the most important Mayan archaeological sites in southern Mexico on this shared shore excursion from Costa Maya. Surrounded by tropical jungle, Chacchoben offers an authentic glimpse into ancient Mayan civilization, with impressive temples, ceremonial plazas, and a peaceful natural setting.

After meeting your guide at a clearly designated point outside the cruise port, you’ll travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle toward the archaeological site. During the drive, your local professional guide will share insights about the region, Mayan traditions, and the historical importance of Chacchoben, helping you better understand what you are about to explore.

At the ruins, enjoy a guided walk at a comfortable, unhurried pace, visiting the main plazas and structures while learning about daily life, beliefs, and rituals of the ancient Maya. There is time for explanations, photos, and exploration along jungle paths and open ceremonial spaces.

On the return trip, you’ll make a short stop at a local fruit market to experience everyday life in the region. A complimentary tasting of freshly cut local pineapple is included, prepared on the spot by the vendors. If you wish, you may also purchase seasonal tropical fruits directly from local sellers for personal consumption. Please note that purchases at the market are cash only.

As a courtesy and upon prior request, drop-off can be arranged at the beach area instead of the port, allowing you to enjoy free time by the sea and return to the cruise port on your own. Otherwise, the standard return is scheduled to ensure a timely arrival back at the port before your ship’s departure.

This tour is ideal for travelers seeking culture, authenticity, and a relaxed experience, without rushed schedules or exaggerated promises.
