Experience two very different sides of Costa Maya in one shore excursion, combining living Maya culture with the natural beauty of Bacalar’s Seven Color Lagoon.

Visit the village of Chacchoben and spend time with a local Maya family, discovering traditions that remain part of everyday life today. Learn about local ingredients and tortilla making, then share a traditional Maya meal prepared with fresh ingredients and family recipes passed down through generations.

Continue to Bacalar Lagoon, once a haven for pirates and today famous for its striking shades of blue and turquoise. Swim in the refreshing freshwater, relax by the lagoon, or simply enjoy the scenery and laid-back atmosphere.

From sharing a meal with a Maya family to swimming in the Seven Color Lagoon, the day brings together the culture, flavors, and natural beauty that make this part of Mexico so special.
