Certified guides who work with smaller groups and speak several languages will open your eyes

silent, known only to local farmers. Now Chacchoben, whose name means "red corn" is the number
one choice for those visiting the Costa Maya.
The jungle setting of Chacchoben also plays host to many species of
exotic birds as well as magnificent trees and plants.
History of Chacchoben: It is very probable that the first inhabitants of the Costa
Maya region settled in here during the late Pre-Classic period, 200 years before Christ. Nevertheless,
it wasn't until the early Classic period when monuments began to be developed and the main governmental
buildings were built. During the subsequent periods, the establishment continued to be inhabited, and
construction decreased around the year 700, culminating later with its virtual abandonment. According to
fragments of efigies that have recovered, it was again populated, although only partially, during the
post-classic period.
