Calakmul, Ancient Maya City from Bacalar or Chetumal

Travel the roads of the ancient Mayan city of Calakmul, one of the main capitals of the Mayan world and one of the largest archeological findings of the Twentieth Century. Discover the exuberant wildlife among the surrounding jungle, where you can spot monkeys, toucans, ocellated turkeys, deer and, if lucky, jaguars and pumas. ​ After your transfer from Chetumal or Bacalar, we'll drive for approximately one and a half hours, entering the Biosphere Reserve, where the ancient Mayan capital of Calakmul lies. The road opens unique chances to spot flora and fauna endemic to the region. The clean and fresh air makes for a full immersion trip into nature. ​ In the archeological site, we will walk through the paths for approximately four hours while telling you all about the meanings and uses of the buildings, as well as the history of this significant Mayan city from the Classic period. If you’re looking for a full day immersed in a quiet and unique natural environment, this is it.

The archaeological site lies inside the largest tropical Reserve in Mexico: The Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. Covering over 700,000 square hectares, it will amaze you around every corner with its wildlife and biodiversity. The total duration of the round-trip between Xpujil and Calakmul will be 3-4 hours
