About this tour

Calakmul Ceremonial Center: Begin your adventure in the heart of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. Explore this ancient Mayan site, largely untouched and surrounded by dense jungle. Discover its impressive architecture and immerse yourself in the spiritual atmosphere of what was once a thriving center of worship.

Climb to the Top: For adventure seekers, climb to the top of one of the tallest Mayan temples in the area. From the summit, marvel at the panoramic views of the valley below, surrounded by millions of trees that make up the sprawling jungle landscape.

From the top, you'll be able to observe the rich biodiversity of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, the second-largest biosphere reserve in the Americas after the Amazon. Keep your eyes peeled for a chance to spot a wide variety of wildlife, including monkeys, tropical birds, and exotic plants.

UNESCO World Heritage Site: Calakmul was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in 2014 this distinction was expanded to Mixed World Heritage, recognizing both its invaluable cultural legacy and the exceptional natural values of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve.
