The Mayan ruins of Chacchoben, discovered in 1972, retain much of their originality and are remarkably well preserved. The complex extends over 70 hectares and is considered the largest discovery site in this region. The facilities were used by the Maya between 200 BC and 700 AD. The temple pyramids visible today date from the early classical period (300 to 600 AD). Excavation and restoration work began in 1994 but is not yet complete. Chaccoben has been open to tourists since 2003. You can see; one large and two smaller pyramids. Video footage of the pyramids costs a nominal fee of $5.
