Meet a Maya family and step into their daily life, discovering traditions and knowledge passed down through generations. Learn how tortillas are made — then roll up your sleeves and make your own alongside your hosts. Gather around the table for a home-cooked traditional lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients, Maya spices and family recipes passed down through generations. Taste traditional tamales and, if you’re feeling adventurous, add some homemade habanero sauce. This is your chance to share traditions, flavors and stories with a Maya family and experience a side of Costa Maya beyond the usual tourist trail. After sharing stories and a meal with the wonderful family who welcomed you, continue on a scenic 25-minute drive to Bacalar’s Seven Color Lagoon, where a refreshing afternoon awaits.

When it’s time to slow down, enjoy refreshing drinks by the lagoon while soaking in the breeze and beautiful scenery. Guests 21 and older can also enjoy two included alcoholic drinks. Whether you choose to paddle, swim, float or simply relax, this is your time to enjoy one of the region’s most beautiful natural escapes before heading back to Costa Maya.
