Bacalar: Vild Calakmul, som den burde være | Klatring, vandretur og flagermus
Beskrivelse
Calakmul er afsidesliggende: derfor er det ekstraordinært, og derfor er det kompliceret at løse det selv. Glem alt om at leje en bil, lede efter en guide eller den lange hjemrejse. Vælg din oplevelse, hvor vi henter dig, og book: din dag er arrangeret. Rejs til verdensarvsstedet Calakmul, en mayaby omgivet af beskyttet jungle, med en professionel guide; vi tager os af transport og logistik. Tre klare muligheder, uden småt: Kun arkæologisk zone; Ruiner + junglevandring; eller Ruiner + vandretur + flagermushule (3 millioner+ flagermus ved solnedgang). Afhentning i Bacalar, Xpujil, Chetumal og Xul-Ha; levering til en anden lokation uden ekstra omkostninger. Pris fokuseret på det essentielle: transport, guide og aktiviteter, uden ekstra udgifter. Billetter betales separat på stedet; vi informerer dig om dette inden booking, uden skjulte omkostninger. Det er en lang dag; med Bat Cave strækker den sig til solnedgang. Dyreliv er ikke garanteret. Uden at gætte på, hvad det indeholder. Ingen gåder. Uden unødvendige ekstramateriale.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi begynder afhentningen og derefter går vi mod Calakmul-reservatet, turen er 3 timer. Når vi først er i reservatet, vil vi have en naturskøn tur gennem den lave tropiske jungle i cirka 1,5 time og vil kun stoppe kort i tilfælde af dyrelivsobservationer. Efter at have krydset junglen vil vi udforske den arkæologiske zone i Calakmul Mixed Heritage of Humanity ifølge UNESCO. Vi udforsker de områder, der er åbne for besøgende, såsom det civile og ceremonielle center, de højeste strukturer over 50 meter høje, solobservatoriet for jævndøgn og solhverv, blandt andre mange forskellige anvendelser. Mange af bygningerne kan bestiges, så det er stadig muligt at se den udsigt, som tidligere kun kongerne og de mest magtfulde af byen kunne se. Under gåturen vil du blive ledsaget af en guide, der vil dele information relateret til denne verdenskendte park, der engang var den mest frygtede og glorificerede Maya-bosættelse.

The stop at the convenience store at the beginning is to buy breakfast and food. Even though the tour provides water and fruit, you might crave something more. There is no stop to eat and the activity does last 12 hours. Armando the tour guide and Argus the driver are excellent people and their service is super good. They give you time to do everything, very attentive to any wildlife sightings.
¡Muchas gracias, Gerardo, por tomarte el tiempo de compartir esto con tanto detalle! Nos ayuda muchísimo a seguir mejorando la experiencia, así que valoramos de verdad ese comentario sobre la parada de la tienda. Y qué gusto enorme leer lo bien que la pasaron con Armando y Argeo — su entrega y esa atención a cada avistamiento de fauna son parte de lo que más nos enorgullece del equipo. ¡Fue un placer tenerlos con nosotros, esperamos verte pronto de nuevo!
If you were to visit only one Mayan archaeological site, I think the excursion to Calakmul is the most impressive because the site is completely lost in the middle of the jungle and really gives a sense of adventure. Especially since the excursion is only done in small groups (my partner and I were alone with the guide and the driver) Besides the ruins, the forest tour allowed us to spot a small toucan, spider monkeys, two turkeys, a huge black pheasant, coatis, numerous birds, and some remarkable trees. Regarding the company ABC Tours, Gerardo, the guide, knows his subject perfectly well, both on the historical and archaeological level and during the walk in the forest. Finally, Checo is an excellent driver, which deserves to be highlighted because that is not always the case in tours organized in the region.
Merci infiniment pour ce retour aussi détaillé ! Ça nous touche particulièrement que vous ayez ressenti ce sentiment d'aventure à Calakmul — c'est exactement ce que nous cherchons à offrir avec les petits groupes, loin de l'agitation des grands circuits. Ravi que la faune ait été au rendez-vous ce jour-là, le toucan et les singes-araignées ne se montrent pas toujours ! Je transmettrai vos mots à Checo, il appréciera vraiment — au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau si vous repassez par la région.
Excellent guided tour from start to finish. Taxi arrived promptly and a lovely driver (Spanish speaker) Argeo, drove for an hour to pick up our guide for the day (English Speaker) Armando. Learned loads about the jungle plants and animals, the Mayans and the ruins at the archeological site. Thank you, both.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that both Argeo and Armando helped make your day informative and enjoyable. Our goal is always to provide a comfortable, reliable, and well-organized experience from start to finish, and we’re glad the transportation and guiding met your expectations.

Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to welcome you back in the future for another adventure in the region. Warm regards, Around Bacalar & Chetumal Tours
This was a great day exploring Calakmul and the biosphere reserve. Our driver Argeo and guide Armando made us feel very welcome and made sure we were comfortable and had enough food and water for the day. Armando is a very knowledgeable and a patient tour guide. Climbing up the 3 pyramids was also an amazing experience experience. The drive there didn’t seem that long because we stopped to get food and then did the nature walk, but by the time we got to the archeological site, it was already quite hot. I would personally like to get to Calakmul earlier in the day, but I understand the nature walk had to be done in the morning. Overall a fantastic experience!!
Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear you had a great day exploring Calakmul and the biosphere reserve. Argeo and Armando are wonderful team members, and we’re glad they made you feel welcome and ensured you were comfortable throughout the day. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed the nature walk and the climb up the pyramids — it truly is a memorable experience. We appreciate your feedback about the timing, and we plan activities to balance wildlife observation with the archaeological visit. Thank you again for choosing us. We’re happy you had a fantastic experience! Warm regards, Around Bacalar & Chetumal Tours
Thank you very much to our guide Armando and our driver Argeo for their kindness and explanations throughout the day! The excursion was maintained even if we were only 2 participants, which we enjoyed! Just maybe a little downside on the surprise increase in entrance tickets since booking. For the various complementary tickets, there is a charge of 525 pesos MXN per person. (End of January 2026) Snacks to plan in advance for the day, there is not much choice on the road.
Thank you very much for your kind words about Armando and Argeo — we’re delighted to hear you appreciated their friendliness and explanations throughout the day. We’re also glad you enjoyed that the excursion was confirmed even with a small group. Regarding the entrance fees, these are set by the authorities and can change without prior notice, but we always aim to keep our guests informed as clearly as possible. Your comment is very helpful. Thank you as well for the practical note about bringing snacks; it’s great advice for future travelers. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again. Warm regards, Around Bacalar & Chetumal Tours
Armando 10/10. Calakmul 10/10. Monos 10/10. A unique experience, the most beautiful archaeological site in a beautiful setting. Armando accompanies us in the discovery of nature and Mayan culture. Super convenient for those who do not rent a car;)
Merci beaucoup, Aline! 🐒🏛️ It was a true pleasure to take you into the heart of the jungle. I am so glad you enjoyed the Calakmul Expedition and that we got to see the monkeys in their natural habitat—they definitely made the 10/10 experience complete! For us, it’s all about making these remote Mayan gems accessible and "no hassle" for travelers staying in Bacalar or Chetumal who want to skip the car rental and dive deep into nature and history. Thank you for choosing us and for recommending our service to the community. Safe travels, and we hope to see you again for another adventure! 🚐🌿 — Armando & the ABC Tours Team
The tour was great! The guide really knew the history of Calakmul and was able to answer any questions. It was a long drive from Bacalar, but totally worth it to see this extraordinary phenomenon! During our walk we also saw howling monkeys and heard them howl, it was incredible! Make sure to bring repellent, because the mosquitos are insane, but the walk is for about 40 minutes, so it’s not that bad, just be prepared. We had a great time and really enjoyed it. It’s a full day so be prepared for a long one. Would 10/10 recommend!
Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia. Nos alegra saber que disfrutaron el tour y el conocimiento del guía sobre Calakmul. Coincidimos en que el trayecto vale totalmente la pena y que escuchar a los monos aulladores es algo único. Agradecemos sus recomendaciones y su entusiasmo. ¡Será un gusto recibirlos nuevamente!
