The first human settlements in the area of Chacchoben have been dated at around 1000BC. By 360AD Chacchoben had become the largest community in the region and consolidated as the most prestigious ceremonial center boasting Gran Basemiento I as its most important ritual plaza.

Today, Temple One, soaring above the canopy of the tropical forest, still expresses the glory of the Mayan city’s ancient sophistication. Even unto this day, only a portion of the site is open to the public, with many temples of Chacchoben still in their natural condition covered with vegetation, waiting for their turn to be restored and reveal their secrets.

Chacchoben's surrounding jungle is characterized by many species of fauna such as, deer, peccary, armadillo, gray fox, spider monkey and howler monkey. Deeper into the jungle it's possible to find species like jaguar, ocelot, puma and tapir.
