Choose the day shape first
| Choice | Best fit | Plan around |
|---|---|---|
| Mahahual coast | Flexible beach and village time | Confirm current transport between port and village |
| Reef or water activity | Active coastal day | Conditions and operator practices matter |
| Chacchoben | Maya history priority | Use the official site status and protect the return drive |
