Chaa Creek is a tributary of the Macal River in the Cayo District in western Belize. One of the official gauging stations of the Macal is located near the confluence with Chaa Creek.[1]

There are Maya ruins that remain largely unexcavated in the Chaa Creek catchment basin; certain early research was conducted on the archaeology at Chaa Creek in 1997 by Harvard University.[2] Significant pottery finds and other artifacts have been recovered at the Chaa Creek site, which is posited to be a satellite site of Xunantunich.[2][3]

The Chaa Creek Nature Reserve is a noted area for birdwatching. Over 300 species of birds have been sighted there.[4]

The underlying geology of this watershed can be characterised as limestone associations of foothills of the Maya Mountains.[5]
