Our Tours

ChacchobenChacchoben & BacalarKohunlich

All tours depart from our office in the village of Mahahual - All times are local Costa Maya time.

Our office is just five short minutes from the Port at Costa Maya by shuttle. Due to the Port of Costa Maya being a private port with their own transportation service, we are not permitted to pick up at the port. Only their transports can leave the port with passengers. There is a small fee for the shuttle, from the drop off point we are only 20 meters (60 feet) south.

Costa Maya time is the same as Central Time Zone in the USA.

 
The Ruins at Chacchoben
 
Mayan Ruins at Chacchoben, Mexico

The original name of this site is as of yet unknown therefore it takes it´s name from the closest village to the site, Chacchoben witch is a reference to
"The place of the red corn".

Mayan Ruins at Chacchoben
Bacalar Lake "Lake of seven colors"
 
The first part of your tour you will visit the Mayan Ruins at Chacchoben, then you will go on to "The Lake of Seven Colors"
 
The Most Beautiful Fresh-Water Lake in the World
 

Lake Bacalar provides a wealth of history and magic. This town cultivates the memories of its ancestors:  fishermen,  merchants,  warriors and poets. Here you can enjoy the year round warm weather climate and water activities including boating, sailing, fishing, water-skiing and swimming. You can tour the 45 mile long lake exploring the many channels and connecting lakes.  The worldwide popular Cenotes (large holes up to 300ft deep in the lake) are a must see. The lake connects to the ocean through a series of channels, lakes and rivers.  For tubing and floating activities, there is a section of the lake where it narrows creating a slow flowing river.  

All water act ivies provide a rare opportunity to experience a body of clean, crystal clear water that looks as though it is part of the caribbean sea.  Count the many shades of water colors (baby & midnight blue, turquoise, teal, aqua, sapphire, ) which change with the sun's movement.

Kohunlich Tour
 
Mask at Kohunlich
 

Kohunlich is a "must-see" when you visit the Costa Maya. The name Kohunlich comes from English "cohoon ridge" which was the name of an old lumber camp located in the area around 1920-30 named after the giant Cohune palms that give Kohunlich its beautiful park-like setting.

Highlights of the site include the Temple of the Masks, a large structure ornamented originally with eight large stucco masks (of which five are only conserved) and considered one of the most complete samples of Mayan iconography of it's time (500-600 AD). The symbolic message of these masks is very complex and there are numerous interpretations -- see it yourself and come to your own conclusions.

NOTE: There is a minimum of 4 when booking this tour.
