Itinerary and highlights

Its name is translated as "water with moss" or "water moisture", although there are authors who suggest that it means "murky water", due to the proximity to small lakes with a rather cloudy color. Other researchers of the ancient Mayan language propose more translations, among which “chachalacas water” may be mentioned; "Tooth of Tuza", which would also come from the Mayan words or "abundant water".

Inside the jungle and 30 hours from the beaches of the Riviera Maya is a hidden treasure. A small village that still preserves with pride and tradition its Mayan past, one of the greatest exponents of the pre-Hispanic origin of our country. His name is Pac-Chen and knowing him is an extraordinary experience.

The first indications of the Mayan culture originate in the Early Preclassic around the year 2000 B.C., so when we refer to this village has managed to maintain its origins we do not say so lightly. Can you imagine being able to get in touch with the stories of a town that still retains an ancient worldview?
