My name is Carlos, I am a professional tour guide with certification in Mayan Culture; I was born and raised in Bacalar Town with a special interest in wild nature and Mayan history. Ever since I started being a tour guide 5 years ago I like to provide the best and enriching tour experience for everybody. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and show them how amazing this part of Mexico is. My town is beautiful, we have the 7-color lake with four amazing cenotes and the Fort of San Felipe with a lot of history behind that I'd like to share with you on your next visit. If we have time I would like to share the spots where I grew up and all the best photo opportinities you can take home. I am ready to customize your day and make a memorable excursion, knowing that you're in great hands at all times.

Overview of your Costa Maya tour

Venture into the heart of the Mayan jungle and discover Chacchoben which means "Place of the Red Corn" in the Mayan language. It is one of the most important archaeological sites along the Riviera Maya. Explore the three temples including the largest platform, which supports two temples at the top of it, and take in the views while spotting wildlife such as spider monkeys, various birds, and toucans. Chacchoben is a hidden gem within the Mayan jungle; you will walk along trails to discover its magnificent temples while listening to stories shared by your local guide. Afterward, we will visit a Mayan family! This will be far more than a simple visit; it will be an authentic experience of daily life among the Mayan people. Upon arrival, we will be warmly welcomed by the family and enjoy authentic Mayan cuisine, such as *pollo pibil* and handmade tortillas you will even have the chance to make your own tortillas

After meeting up, we will head to our vehicle and drive for approximately 50 minutes to reach the Chacchoben archaeological site. We will spend about one hour touring this Mayan city. Once the tour at Chacchoben concludes, we will head to a local Mayan family's home, where a meal and fresh tortillas will be ready for us to enjoy the experience. Afterward, we will return to the Costa Maya port, ensuring there is plenty of time for guests to arrive by their scheduled boarding time.

Costa Maya, Mahahual, Quintana Roo, Mexico

The meeting point is outside the port. Costa maya port is a private company so we are not allowed to pick up people inside. Once you get off the ship please look for to the exit, pass all the shops, the port is like a circle, it is a little bit confusing because there is no sings for the exit. I will be outside the port waiting for you, with your name on a sing! It will be easy to find me!
