Whether you choose to learn about ancient Medicinal Plants or immerse yourself in modern wellness experiences, the Chaa Creek Reserve has something for you!
The Maya, renowned for their mastery of their natural environment, have long utilized the jungle’s bounty for nutrition and medicinal purposes, rituals and funerals, and trade. Their innate knowledge and intuitive respect for the local forests’ medicinal plants is a fascinating aspect of their culture.
The Chaa Creek Reserve is a treasure trove of medicinal plants. Our Maya Medicinal Trail is home to a diverse range of flora, from vines that store water for drinking to plants that help abate malaria, aid diabetics, cleanse blood, and more. Each plant has its own unique story and traditional use, quietly waiting to be discovered.
Choose between guided or self-guided tours of the Chaa Creek Reserve. Guided tours are led by our licensed Naturalist guides, with their extensive knowledge of the jungle and unmatched charisma, ensure a fulfilling and informative experience.
Whether you’re out for an afternoon hike or planning a more extensive exploration, our licensed naturalist guides can show you the jungle in a way you will continue dreaming about.
