Join us in exploring the Costa Maya Mayan Ruins site of Chacchoben, one of the more recently discovered Mayan Sites in Costa Maya.
Chacchoben offers manicured paths and an easy walk suitable for all ages and group needs. Due to its proximity to the port and layout, it is the most accessible Mayan ruin site in the area.
Located a short 40-minute drive from the Port, the Chacchoben Temples are a beautiful example of the intricate Maya construction during the Maya Classic period.
The excavation of Chacchoben began in 1994 and a great deal has been discovered about the importance of this site and its people. There are still many secrets waiting to be unearthed!
Chacchoben, which means place of the red corn, is believed to have been inhabited around 200 BC. However, the structures now visible at the site have been determined to have been constructed around 300-500ad.
Journey into the Mystical Realm of the Maya and walk through the ceremonial grounds and temples the Mayans traversed over 1,000 years ago!
Keep your eyes open for the other residents of the jungle surrounding Chacchoben. Spider Monkeys, Peccary, deer, and armadillos inhabit this area, so keep an eye out!
On our way back from the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins, we visit Pineapple Town. All guests will view our famous Honey-Pineapple farm area and taste the most delicious pineapple in the world!
