Bacalar 7 Colors Lagoon & Mayan Family Experience from Costa Maya
Experience two completely different sides of Costa Maya in one day: living Maya culture and the brilliant blue waters of Bacalar’s 7 Colors Lagoon. Visit the Maya village of Chacchoben, where you’ll spend time with a local family, discover traditions still practiced today, and get a closer look at everyday Maya life. Taste traditional dishes prepared with local ingredients and ancestral cooking techniques, sharing flavors and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Then continue to Bacalar’s famous 7 Colors Lagoon, once a haven for pirates and today one of the region’s most beautiful natural escapes. Swim in its refreshing waters, relax by the lagoon, or grab a kayak and explore its incredible shades of turquoise and blue. Maya culture, local flavors, and the waters of Bacalar — a memorable way to experience Costa Maya beyond the cruise port.
