Great experience at Chacchoben! The ruins were beautiful, but the beach time was a little short. Carlos was great—friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable. Overall, a wonderful trip!

The meeting point was a short walk from the cruise port. Google maps guided us there, no problems! We waited a bit for a van and then we were off. Reggie was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable about the Mayan history and was very engaging. When we arrived to Chacchoben, the tour remained very
engaging and there was a lot to see. Would definitely recommend the tour and Reggie as a guide!

Getting Mayan in Mahahual, Puerta Costa Maya
We went to Costa Maya to see the undersold Mayan Chacchoben ruins, which are surreal and not to be missed, and Elliot, the Mayan with the Scottish name!, did not disappoint! The Bacalar lake experience offered several varieties of delicious tacos and the beautiful, but rocky, lake itself was a refreshing swim after the epic morning!

Must see Ruins!
Great experience, well organized and good guides. The trip to the ruins from the port is over an hour so the air conditioned bus is try only way to travel it.

Good tour, bad mic or bus speaker.
We enjoyed the walking tour and everyone wsd very nice. Unfortunately, I have to take a star away due to not being able to understand the guide on the bus because either his mic was bad or the bus's speaker was blown. I'm sure he was giving us a lot of information, but it was all lost on us.

Mayan Ruins
Had a wonderful time learning about the ruins and the Mayan culture. I believe our tour guide was Octavio. Thank you for all the history lesson.

Ozzy & Yoshi were a great driver & Maya guide. Yoshi explained all about the Chacchoben ruin, and we enjoyed our 4 types of tacos & swim in the picturesque Balacar Lagoon. Loved the small group size.

When to visit

Since the ruins are mostly unexcavated, visitors should wear sneakers or hiking boots, not flip-flops.
Mosquitos may be abundant, especially during rainy season, so remember to bring insect repellent.
Keep your eyes open for deer, peccaries (piglike animals), armadillos, gray foxes, and spider and howler monkeys, which inhabit the surrounding jungle.
