Rovine Maya di Chacchoben e avventura nella laguna di Bacalar da Costa Maya
Descrizione
Due dei nostri posti preferiti in un solo giorno. Viaggia dal mondo degli antichi Maya alle vecchie rotte dei pirati di Bacalar, tutto dalla Costa Maya. Esplora le rovine Maya di Chacchoben, dove antichi templi e strutture cerimoniali sorgono tra la giungla tropicale. Passeggia attraverso il sito con la tua Guida, scoprendo la storia di questa città Maya circondata da piante autoctone, uccelli tropicali e i suoni della giungla. Poi lasciati alle spalle l'antica città e prosegui per la Laguna dei Sette Colori di Bacalar, un tempo parte di antiche rotte dei pirati e oggi famosa per le sue acque dolci limpide e le sfumature cangianti del blu. Nuota, kayak o semplicemente rilassati in riva alla laguna con una bevanda fredda mentre ammiri la brezza e la vista. E poiché una giornata come questa merita del buon cibo, godetevi un pranzo incluso proprio in riva alla laguna prima di tornare a Costa Maya.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
La tua avventura inizia con il trasporto da Costa Maya, in partenza 1 ora dopo l'arrivo della tua nave da crociera in porto. Godetevi i circa 50 minuti di auto a Chacchoben, passando attraverso i villaggi locali lungo la strada. Trascorri circa 1 ora esplorando le rovine Maya di Chacchoben con la tua Guida, scoprendo un antico centro cerimoniale Maya circondato da una giungla tropicale. Passeggia tra imponenti templi e strutture mentre impari la storia e i segreti di questa affascinante città. Segui i sentieri della giungla e goditi la combinazione di architettura Maya antica e natura tropicale, con piante autoctone, uccelli colorati e persino la possibilità di avvistare scimmie ragno tra gli alberi. Dopo aver esplorato Chacchoben, proseguite per circa 25 minuti fino alla Laguna Bacalar per la seconda parte della vostra avventura.
Dopo aver esplorato Chacchoben, proseguite verso la bellissima laguna Bacalar Seven Color, un tempo rifugio dei pirati e oggi famosa per le sue acque dolci cristalline e le incredibili sfumature di blu e turchese. Trascorrete circa 2 ore in riva alla laguna godendovela al vostro ritmo. Fai una nuotata rinfrescante, prendi un kayak ed esplora l'acqua, o semplicemente rilassati su un lettino con una bevanda fredda mentre ti godi la brezza e la vista. Fai una pausa per un pranzo di taco incluso con patatine e salsa, scegliendo tra ripieni come fajitas di pollo, salsiccia Spagnola con patate o tradizionale al pastor. Dopo il tuo tempo a Bacalar, siediti e rilassati durante il viaggio di ritorno di circa 1 ora e 5 minuti al porto di Costa Maya, tenendo sempre a mente il tuo programma di crociera.

Elliott (our guide) and Pedro (our driver) were phenomenal! Our cruise ship had limited time at port that day. Our guide adapted the excursion and watched the time for us so that we didn’t have to stress about making it back to the ship on time. We had grandma with us in a wheelchair and they were able to accommodate her. Our guide’s knowledge was very impressive and he taught us about the Maya culture and history in an engaging and fun way. Great sense of humor too! The perfect balance between history and fun. The tacos we delicious and Bacalar Lagoon was stunning. The water temp was perfect. The kids loved kayaking and jumping off the dock. 10 out of 10 experience!
Wonderful experience, service and food! It was well worth the walk off port to support local people!!!! I was very impressed with their knowledge and kindness!!

Our guide Joel was very informative and did a great job educating the group on the history of the Mayans and encouraged us to learn the real culture! The ruins were interesting. The Lagoon was not what we expected. The pictures show beautiful cenotes, but the spot was REALLY small and there are no cenotes. The drinks were cold but so was the food. Overall, this excursion was nice, but it was rushed and there is a lot of riding on the bus.
Hi Karen_T, Thank you so much for choosing us during your cruise vacation on board Carnival Jubilee to spend your day in Costa Maya in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the Chacchoben ruins with Joel—he’s incredibly passionate about sharing the rich history and real culture of the Mayan world. We’re sorry to hear the lagoon experience didn’t fully meet your expectations. Our Bacalar Combo Tour is designed to take cruise guests to the closest access point of the Bacalar Lagoon from the port, so you can enjoy its stunning beauty while making the most of your limited time ashore. This tour doesn’t include cenotes, and we don’t mention them in the description—but we do offer another longer version that includes a boat ride and visits to the cenotes within the lagoon. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back and take you there on your next visit! Thanks again for spending your day with us, and don’t forget to share your stories and tag us on Instagram or Facebook at @NextExperienceTravel—we’d love to see your adventure and inspire fellow travelers! Warm wishes, The Caribbean Cruise Tours Team 🌴
We experienced issues with the AC during the bus ride to the ruins. With the heat it’s was unbearable once we got to the ruins we changed busses and the rest of the experience was excellent. Erick and Diego were amazing guides

Overall, the experience was excellent and enjoyable. The ruins were fascinating and exciting to explore. The time there unfortunately was a bit rushed so would recommend spending a bit more time there. The Bacalar Lagoon part of the experience was disappointing and misleading. The pictures on Viator are not accurate and do not depict the actual lagoon visited. While the place was enjoyable, it was not nearly as pretty as the pictures posted on Viator by the provider. The place is a lagoon (lake actually), but not where the seven color Bacalar Lagoon is. So please be aware. As far as the staff directing the excursion, they were all outstanding, professional, fun, entertaining, and caring individuals. They made the trip.
Hi Daniel_C, We’re so glad you joined us in Costa Maya during your Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas cruise—thank you for choosing to spend your day in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean with us! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed exploring the fascinating Chacchoben ruins and that our team made your experience memorable. They’ll be thrilled to hear your kind words! We’re truly sorry the lagoon portion didn’t meet your expectations. We’re currently undergoing important renovations at our usual venue to enhance the guest experience, and we appreciate your understanding during this temporary change. As for the Bacalar Lagoon, its stunning colors depend on several natural factors, and recent heavy rains have affected its usual beauty. We hope to welcome you again in the future for an even better experience! In the meantime, feel free to share your memories and tag us on Instagram or Facebook at @NextExperienceTravel—we’d love to see your moments and help inspire other travelers too!
