Chacchoben Maya-ruïnes en Maya-ervaring vanuit Costa Maya
Beschrijving
Ontdek twee kanten van de Maya-cultuur in één Costa Maya-excursie aan wal, waarbij de oude stad Chacchoben wordt gecombineerd met een bezoek aan een hedendaagse Maya-gemeenschap. Verken de Chacchoben Maya-ruïnes met je Gids, wandel tussen tempels en ceremoniële structuren terwijl je leert over de geschiedenis en tradities van de oude Maya's. Ga dan verder naar het nabijgelegen dorp Chacchoben voor een heel ander perspectief. Ontmoet een lokale Maya familie en ervaar tradities die vandaag de dag deel uitmaken van het dagelijks leven. Leer over handgemaakte tortilla's, lokale ingrediënten, traditionele remedies en familiegebruiken terwijl je tijd doorbrengt met je gastheren. Maak uw ervaring compleet met een traditionele Maya maaltijd bereid met verse lokale ingrediënten en kooktechnieken die generaties lang zijn doorgegeven. Van oude tempels in de jungle tot tradities die vandaag de dag nog steeds worden beoefend, deze tour biedt een diepere blik op de Maya-geschiedenis, cultuur en voedsel buiten de archeologische site.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Uw avontuur begint een uur nadat uw cruiseschip in Costa Maya is aangekomen. Reis de tropische jungle in om de Maya-ruïnes van Chacchoben te verkennen, een oude Maya-stad die dateert uit ongeveer 200 v.Chr. Volg je Gids door de archeologische site terwijl je indrukwekkende tempels en ceremoniële structuren ontdekt terwijl je leert over de geschiedenis en cultuur van de Maya-beschaving. Onderweg ervaar je de omliggende jungle en de inheemse flora en fauna. Na het verkennen van de ruïnes gaat u verder naar het nabijgelegen dorp Chacchoben voor het Maya Experience-gedeelte van uw tour.
Ga verder naar het Maya-dorp Chacchoben, waar je een lokale familie ontmoet en ervaart hoe Maya-tradities nog steeds deel uitmaken van het dagelijks leven. Breng tijd door met je gastheren terwijl ze hun cultuur en tradities delen, van de ingrediënten en bereiding van handgemaakte tortilla's tot natuurlijke remedies met behulp van lokale planten. Geen familiebezoek zou compleet zijn zonder een maaltijd te delen. Geniet van traditionele Maya gerechten bereid met verse lokale ingrediënten en kooktechnieken doorgegeven door generaties, voor een authentieke smaak van de regio. Na uw bezoek kunt u genieten van een soepele rit terug naar de haven van Costa Maya, waardoor uw reis van de oude Maya-geschiedenis naar de levende cultuur van vandaag wordt voltooid.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever had with a short excursion. These people are thieves. My ship arrive at 8:26 AM.The driver called 8:35 am and I told him that I will there in 10 minutes. I called him in three minutes, 8:38 am to ask him where he was at I was not able to locate him at the location indicated for me to wait for them. The tour guy did not answer. I continued to call him and the company but neither one answered. I had to get assistance from local Mexicans to call them. The tour guy answered the local call, and then when the local person told him that we were waiting for him, he hung up the phone. When the local people called the company Amanda answered after few attempts. She told me that I did not show up for the excursion, which is not true as they were nowhere to be found outside of the port. By the time I reached Amanda, the local people had walked around and asked from all companies that Viator works with until we were able to find the office, which no one was there. Amanda told me to call Viator to get a refund as she has not gotten paid from Viator. I specifically asked Amanda what should I tell Viator as she’s asking me to call Viator. Amanda told me to ask Viator for a refund, but when Viator representative call Amanda, she told them not to give me the refund. When I called Amanda to ask her what did she say to Viator she wouldn’t answer me and she hung up the phone when the Viator representative came on the phone. Viator representative told me that Amanda said to them not to give me a refund because I did not show up, which is a lie. This company stole about $450 from me for an excursion that did not attend. They left me and my family, they were not answer my calls. They were not at the port. No one knew where they were out of the port. My trip was ruined. We spent the whole day miserable and we had nothing else planned as this excursion was supposed to be most of our day. I will never book with this company or Viator again as Viator allows company to do such things and not able to help me get the refund.
Hi St_E, Thank you for choosing us during your vacation in Costa Maya in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean. We’re truly sorry to hear about your frustration on the day of your tour. We’d like to clarify that our tours depart one hour after the ship’s arrival, with clear meeting instructions (including a map and Google Maps link) sent in advance. Our team even called you before departure, but unfortunately, you didn’t arrive until well after the tour had already left. Out of fairness to all guests, we cannot delay beyond the scheduled departure, and unfortunately no refunds are granted for late arrivals or no-shows. As your booking was made through Viator, your refund request was reviewed by them and declined based on the documented no-show. While we regret that this caused disappointment, we hope to welcome you again in the future under better circumstances. Best regards, The Shore Excursions Team
Great site to visit. Loved the ruins and the locals were very nice. The lunch at the village was nice too. We never paid the $5 photo fee, no one approached us and I didn't see anyplace to pay for it,

Was an informative tour. Enjoyed Joel's information on the ruins. The local Mayan cooked food was delicious. Even thought there were thousands of people at the port because of 2 ships in port that day. The tour was run well as not to feel so crowded. Only draw back which is not the tour operators fault is that it is very hot this time of the year. The a/c on the bus was having a difficult time with the group of 18 on the bus keeping us cool and it takes 1 hr or more each way.

What an amazing experience! We wanted to visit the Mayan ruins to learn the history of this ancient civilization and jumped at the chance to visit the community decendents and share lunch. What we got was so much more educational, as our excellent tour guides, especially Joel, explained the culture of this community as it was passed down from his ancestors. We were given history from the Mayan perspective as they lived it in 500 bc. We were transported to looking at the site from the eyes of the Mayan people as they knew it before officially discovery was recorded. Then topping it off with a delicious authentic Mayan lunch, we are beyond pleased with our experience.

Edder and Abner were very informative about the area and took the time to make sure we understood the history and culture of the Mayan’s. Edders knowledge and personality were amazing.
