Overview

  • Travel through history as you explore one of the least explored archaeological sites in the Maya world, where impressive monuments rise from the jungle.

    Discover the ancient Maya city of Chacchoben as you walk through its ceremonial heart, explore structures once used by nobles and admire the architecture of this great civilisation. A certified guide will bring its history and secrets to life as you follow jungle trails beneath the canopy.

    Walk in the footsteps of Maya priests and rulers along paths through the ceremonial heart of Chacchoben. Climb the Gran Basamento, where incredible views reveal the immensity of the jungle and a spectacular perspective of the temples above. Along the way, discover native plants, listen for tropical birds and keep an eye out for spider monkeys moving through the jungle canopy.

    Surrounded by ancient monuments, wildlife and the sounds of the jungle, Chacchoben offers a fascinating glimpse into the history, legends and natural beauty of the Maya world
