Join us in exploring the Costa Maya Mayan Ruins site of Chacchoben, one of the more recently discovered Mayan Sites in Costa Maya.
Learn about the advanced culture of the Mayans and see the Temples built hundreds of years ago, including a delightful visit to the Costa Maya Butterfly Farm!
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 that 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 a lookout!
On our way back from the Chacchoben Mayan Ruins, we visit Pineapple Town. All guests will view our famous Honey-Pineapple farm area and get to taste the most delicious pineapple in the world!
