点评:We toured the Mayan ruins and went to a lagoon for a taco lunch. First of all, the tour was $50 less than what the cruise ship was charging. Yes, there was a 18 minute walk as opposed to the 10 minute walk for those who took the cruise ship, but it was easy to find and an easy walk. We had a 5.5 hour tour called Chacchoben Extreme from Costa Maya port. The first and longest traveling in a bus was excellent mostly because of the guide Eliot. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history and the languages of the area and was able to nimbly move with the conversation to answer all our questions and speak personally about his life as well. He made the time getting to the ruins fly by. The van was clean and had great AC. The ruins were really a fast stop but worth it. Lorenzo was our guide for this section and he too was exceptionally knowledgable about the place, but we did not take much time for conversations or questions. It was exceptionally hot and you will want bug spray. After this portion of the tour we were with Maggie who was well organized and helped us with lunch and drinks. She did not speak to us on the hour long ride back- I think everyone but me was tired and happy for a peaceful return to the port. At the port, there was ample shopping and two pools to cool off in. Just another shout out to Elliot, because he was the best part of the tour.
翻译:我们参观了玛雅遗迹,还去泻湖边吃塔可当午餐。首先,这次旅游的费用比游轮公司收取的费用少了50美元。虽然需要步行18分钟才能到达,而选择游轮的游客只需步行10分钟,但目的地很容易找到,路程也不算困难。我们从科斯塔玛雅港出发,参加了一场时长为5.5小时的“查克乔本极限之旅”。其中第一段乘车行程时间最长,体验也非常不错,这主要归功于导游埃利奥特。他对这一地区的历史和语言了如指掌,能够灵活地配合我们的谈话节奏,回答我们所有的问题,还亲自讲述了自己的生平经历。他让前往遗址的路程变得转瞬即逝。面包车很干净,空调效果也很棒。虽然参观遗址的时间很短,但绝对值得一去。洛伦佐是我们这一段的向导,他对当地也极为熟悉,不过我们没能花太多时间与他交谈或提问。天气极其炎热,记得带上驱虫剂。在这一段行程结束后,我们由Maggie负责接待,她安排得井然有序,还帮我们准备了午餐和饮料。在返回港口的那一个小时里,她没有和我们说话——我想除了我之外,大家都很疲惫,也乐于能在安静中回到港口。港口一带有很多商店,还有两个泳池可以消暑降温。最后再夸一下Elliot吧,他绝对是这次旅行中最出彩的部分。
