When your cruise ship docks in the port of Costa Maya, embark on a 3.5-hour shore excursion to Chacchoben. Explore the ancient Mayan city, where mysterious pyramids and temples remained hidden until the late 20th century! Your informative guide will tell you about the original occupants of this significant archeological site, as well as the native animals – including toucans and jaguars – that inhabit the surrounding jungle. Round-trip transport by air-conditioned vehicle included.
Our groups are small to ensure pesonalized attention.

We booked this excursion from our cruise Ship Carnival the Valor! About a 50 min air conditioned bus ride to the side - what an adventure - bus 293 - tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the ruins! The Ruins did not disappoint - got to see some interesting things as well as monkeys swinging from the branches well above the jungle floor - bring bug spray - the little fire ants and I think mosquitos ate me up - not so much my husband but they LOVED me for some reason.
Well worth visiting if you have not seen them - beautiful place and incredible to see, especially in person! Pictures do not do it justice.
Thank you tour guide form bus 293 for an amazing adventure!

Our tour guide Rafael was AMAZING!! Our tour group was small- just my husband and myself and another couple- and I was so grateful after seeing the other tour sizes. We had an incredible experience and our guide was incredibly friendly. He told us so much about the history of the area, the plants and animals of the area, and gave us a literal taste of the local life by sharing some incredible honey pineapple. I couldn’t be happier that I booked with them, and even happier than I saved money by not booking through our cruise line! Octavio greeted us and also gave us great history of the area while we waited for the other couple arrive. I would recommend this tour of this beautiful area over and over again.

Rafael was an excellent tour guide. He went out of his way to teach us the history of this beautiful archaeological site. He truly loves his county and it shows how he talks about every aspect of it with passion. It was a very nice touch that he stopped on the way back for complimentary honey pineapples & local empanadas. Honestly the best I have ever had! Highly recommend this local tour. Felt super safe and comfortable with him.

Fantastic trip. The ruins are great. The staff were helpful and accommodating to kids. We saw lots of monkeys at the ruins as well. Great trip. Walking to the check in point from the cruise port was super easy and they had sent a map to help you know where to go. Lovely ice cream place right next to the pick up place as well.

Octavia did an excellent job of the history and explaining the history of the ruins. He was kind and caring about his tour needs. We recommend this tour. And it was a small group, unlike the cruise groups.

Raphael, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure that we all had a good time answered all of our questions made sure we were very hydrated as it was very warm. Took us to try some honey pineapple which was delicious. We really enjoyed the small group tour
