The dawn of the once highly developed Mayan civilization can be traced back to around 2,000 B.C. and many of their amazing architectural structures can still be visited in Mexico to this date. In around A.D. 700, these clever people built the pilgrimage site of Chacchoben, your destination, on this half-day tour. After meeting your bilingual guide, you’ll head inland on an air-conditioned coach with information on the site and the Mayans provided during the ride. On arrival, your guide will show you around the site, explaining the purpose of the various structures. Amazingly, one of the pyramids still features some original red paint on its stucco walls, while a mural depicting the astronomical positions of planet Venus has stood the test of time in one of the temples. For those of an energetic disposition, there’ll also be time to climb some of Chacchoben’s tallest structures: the imposing Gran Basamento, a place where archaeologists found remains of ceremonial offerings dating back to 1,000 B.C. The highest point of the temple sits above the tree canopy and affords eminently photo-worthy views. You’ll also get to find out a little about the area’s diverse wildlife and Mayan medicinal plants, which continue to be used to this day. A complimentary bottle of water is also included in your excursion and the relaxing return drive to your ship at the Costa Maya brings your tour to a close.

Experience the Mayan Reality on a cultural adventure that will both educate and delight you.
