Highlights

Travel through history and discover the ancient Maya city of Chacchoben, where impressive monuments rise among the tropical jungle.


Walk through ancient plazas and ceremonial grounds as your certified guide reveals the history, secrets and legends of a civilization that flourished here centuries ago. Follow the same paths once walked by Maya priests, nobles and rulers, and imagine the ceremonies that once filled this ancient city.


Walk beneath the jungle canopy as ancient temples and ceremonial structures emerge among the trees, while mysterious mounds hidden beneath vegetation hint at the secrets Chacchoben has yet to reveal.


Along the way, discover native plants, tropical birds and keep your eyes on the trees for spider monkeys in their natural habitat.


More than a visit to ancient ruins, this is your chance to walk through Maya history where it happened, surrounded by the monuments, stories and jungle that have guarded Chacchoben for centuries.

Follow your certified guide into the ceremonial heart of Chacchoben, a Maya city that reached its peak around 300 AD. Explore impressive temples and plazas while discovering the stories, beliefs and traditions of the civilization that once flourished here. Walk beneath the jungle canopy as restored structures rise alongside mysterious mounds still covered by vegetation. Discover native plants, tropical birds and, with a little luck, spider monkeys in the trees.
