Overview

As soon as your cruiseship arrives to Costa Maya Port, travel through history and let us guide you during your adventure in one of the least explored archeological sites in the Mayan Zone and let yourself be surprised by the incredible monuments surrounded by jungle.

As you discover the Mayan city of Chacchoben, you will walk through to the ancient residences of the nobles, temples and ceremonial centers surrounded by the jungle.

Admire the architecture of this great civilization while a certified guide explains in detail the history and secrets of this ancient city.

Relive the passage of the Mayan priests and chiefs walking the steps to the top of the piramids and let yourself be impressed by the immensity of the jungle from above.

During your adventure, you will also learn about local plants, observe endemic birds, a large population of spider monkeys and listen to the legends that gave origin to this city.

We recommend this tour if you visit Costa Maya for the first time.
