🇲🇽 Costa Maya Cruise Port Guide: Why A Local Tour is the BEST option!
Most cruisers in Costa Maya, Mexico get stuck in the "tourist trap" port complex, but we decided to break out. In this episode of Port Lowdown, we take you on a whirlwind independent tour to two of Mexico's best hidden gems: the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins and the breathtaking Bacalar Lagoon (Lagoon of Seven Colors). We answer the big questions: Is it safe to book a local tour? Will you make it back to the ship on time? And how do you navigate the "maze-like" port to find the taxis?
