The Chacah´s garden is a space in Xel Ha Park , where during the past three years important personalities surrounded by extraordinary mysticism have planted a native tree called Chacah, leaving a personal thought or message with the purpose of creating consciousness for Earth´s natural resources care. So that society may join in the endeavor to preserve the environment, for the benefit and enjoyment of coming generations. Each tree that is planted in Xel Ha Park stays as a living testimony that will help other people understand the essence of this movement.

This event takes place in Xel Ha Natural Park on the first Saturday following the world Tree Day every year, this year it was held on July 11th. It is a ceremony that is framed by the local legend of Kinich (sun’s face) and Dzic (fury), two Mayan princes who fell in love with the same princess: Nicte Ha. They fought each other for the princess’s love, but the gods doomed them to live forever next to each other, turned into trees. Chechen and Chacah are the names of these two trees that grow always together and can be found all over the Yucatan Peninsula.
