Chacchoben Archaeological Site

Carretera Federal 293 (Vía Corta a Mérida) Km 9, Quintana Roo (a 45 min de Bacalar).

The most significant and extensive Mayan settlement in the Lake Region. Its structures, dating back to 700 AD, are nestled within a thick, high jungle where it is very common to spot spider monkeys and toucans in the wild. The site features impressive stepped pyramids and ceremonial plazas emerging from among sapote and ceiba trees. Open daily from Monday to Sunday.

Local Tip

"Open every day of the week. We recommend arriving early when it opens, as this is the best time to see spider monkeys in the treetops near the main pyramids. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring biodegradable insect repellent."
