Twenty thousand people lived in Kuhonlich and the surrounding areas. Kohunlich has three temples, a ball court, and many residential buildings. On the short walk from the entrance to the ceremonial area we encountered many howler monkeys. Cohunes are the type of palm trees in the area. Kohunlich is actually a mispronounced version of Cohune Ridge. We are going to focus mostly on the ceremonial area which has been excavated. Kohunlich consists of over 200 mounds that are spread out over 20 acres, most of which have not yet been excavated. The driver passed out more waters before we started. Once we arrived in Kohunlich we had another opportunity to use the facilities prior to starting the tour. We stopped in a Mayan village where the tour guide for the lagoon excursion picked up the couple that was going on that tour. They have unlimited free water in the ice chest up front.įrom this intersection you can turn left to go to Belize city or right to go to Playa Del Carmen. They’re going cave tubing in Belize so the kid will probably enjoy that one more. Six or seven years old would be my guess but I’m terrible with kids ages. They say they don’t recommend this tour for kids under six and I think she was right around that age. Me and a couple from Dallas with their daughter. That left just four of us going to the ruins. One of the couples was going on a lagoon excursion. I arrived at 8:50 which was perfect timing for my 9am tour. They want you to arrive 10 minutes ahead of time to check in and use the bathroom. The lady working the counter told me it’s a two hour ride with no bathroom break and recommended I use theirs before leaving. The guys outside told me to head inside the building to check in for my tour. I believe I could shave 5 minutes off of that time now that I know my way around the port area. It took me 25 minutes to get from the ship to The Native Choice on foot. I walked it but I did ask a taxi driver how much they would’ve charged for a ride. If you book through The Native Choice you will need to navigate the port area, then take a cab or walk to the Native Choice building. They won’t allow the tour operators to pick you up in the port area but they will allow them to drop you off at the port. If you aren’t taking a Carnival tour, you have to exit the port area to meet your tour.Ĭarnival makes it as difficult as possible for people who book outside tours. It’s the first thing you see when you come off of the pier. If you booked through Carnival, this is where you would meet your tour. I decided to book through The Native Choice who received excellent reviewson past tours. Two days before our arrival in Costa Maya I received a letter from Carnival saying the tour had been canceled due to a lack of participation. I originally booked this tour through Carnival for $110.
