Bacalar: Wild Calakmul As It Should Be | Climb, Hike & Bats

Calakmul is remote: that's why it is extraordinary and that's why solving it yourself is complicated. Forget renting a car, looking for a guide, or the long return. Choose your experience, where we pick you up, and book: your day is sorted. Travel to the World Heritage site of Calakmul, a Mayan city surrounded by protected jungle, with a professional guide; we handle transportation and logistics. Three clear options, no fine print: Archaeological Zone Only; Ruins + Jungle Walk; or Ruins + Walk + Bat Cave (3+ million bats at sunset). Pickup in Bacalar, Xpujil, Chetumal, and Xul-Ha; delivery to another point at no extra cost. Price focused on the essentials: transport, guide, and activities, no extras. Tickets are paid separately on site; we tell you before you book, hiding nothing. It is a long day; with Bat Cave it extends until sunset. Wildlife is not guaranteed. Without guessing what it includes. No puzzles. Without unnecessary extras.

   Calakmul Archaeological Zone

   12 hours

   We begin the pick-up and then we head towards the Calakmul Reserve, the trip is 3 hours. Once in the reserve we will have a scenic drive through the low tropical jungle for approximately 1.5 hours and will only stop briefly in case of wildlife sightings. After crossing the jungle we will explore the Archaeological Zone of Calakmul Mixed Heritage of Humanity according to UNESCO. We explore the areas open to visitors, such as the civic and ceremonial center, the tallest structures over 50 meters high, the solar observatory of equinoxes and solstices, among other multiple uses. Many of the buildings can be climbed, so it is still possible to see the view that previously only the kings and most powerful of the city could see. During the walk you will be accompanied by a guide who will share information related to this world-renowned park that was once the most feared and glorified Mayan settlement.
