Cruise Port Guide

Mxjppp Cruise Port

The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.

In port at Mxjppp, the bucket-list move is Chacchoben Maya Ruins: Private Archaeologist-Led Tour. Costa Maya Cruise Excursions (local expert network) runs it — a private, expert-led experience at your own pace, not a 40-person coach.
