About Us | |
Located just hours from Cancun, the purpose-built cruise port Puerto Costa Maya is a gateway to thrilling adventures, educational experiences, and one-of-a-kind culture. Puerto Costa Maya looks like an ancient Mayan City but it’s a thoroughly contemporary cruise port that can accommodate three ships, including the largest & biggest ships of the industry simultaneously. In short, Puerto Costa Maya has everything you could expect of a first-class cruise port. Voted Seatrade Insider’s “Port of the Year,” Costa Maya has some big-name representation. In addition to some fine little restaurants and bars, now operated them by Anderson´s Group (Sr. Frogs & Carlos & Charlies). There’s a beach club at the port, with a saltwater pool. Costa Maya’s Dolphin Discovery is the first dolphinarium facility to be located within a cruise terminal. It offers both “dolphin encounter” and “dolphin swim” tour options to visitors. Equally timeless are the ancient Mayan ruins on the outskirts of Costa Maya, by the way, Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many mayan ruins. From the years 200.B.C. to 900.A.D. the Mayan tribe was active in the western lowland area, now known as the Mexican state Quintana Roo, home to Puerto Costa Maya. Vestiges of ancient buildings are scattered all around the region but there are few particularly popular ones where the mystic history of the area is palpable. The impressive buildings at Dzibanché, Chacchoben, and newly unearthed Ichkabal, stand today as some of the area’s premier cultural attractions. |
