Chacchoben is a Mayan ruin on the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula. It is southwest of the cruise port of Costa Maya. In the Mayan language, Chacchoben means: The Place of Red Corn. The site opened for tourism quite recently in 2002. I visited the site in November 2017 on a cruise excursion from Costa Maya. A chicle tree. You can see the cuts on the tree where the gum was obtained. The chicle gum is used to make Chiclet gum.
