Chacchoben - Although translation of the name Chacchoben isn't very clear among local people, it seems to make reference to "the place of the red corn". Mr. Serviliano Cohuo had arrived at the site in the 1940's, fell in love and decided to settle down in that particular location. Seven Cohuo children were born there and grew up having the ruins of Chacchoben in their back yard (their old house is beside the Gran Basamento). They lived in the only way they knew, the Maya way, keeping the traditions and performing rituals and ceremonies that were part of their world limited only by the surrounding jungle. They grew up having a sense of respect towards Chacchoben. Ivan Cohuo was our guide of Chacchoben and provided a passionate and professional presentation of the history, culture and significance of the ruins and their builders. In 1972, Dr. Peter Harrison, an American Archeologist leading a project from Tulane University, registered the site with the Mexican Government. At that time, the state of Quintana Roo was not very populated and had few good roads

Majahual - The tour starts from the "Cat's Meow" Restaurant. You can also look for the guys on the street (Ivan & David) with the sign reading "The Native Choice".
