Itinéraire
Nous commençons la prise en charge puis nous nous dirigeons vers la réserve de Calakmul, le trajet dure 3 heures. Une fois dans la réserve, nous ferons une route panoramique à travers la jungle tropicale basse pendant environ une heure et demie et ne nous arrêterons que brièvement en cas d'observation d'animaux sauvages. Après avoir traversé la jungle, nous explorerons la zone archéologique de Calakmul, patrimoine mixte de l'humanité selon l'UNESCO. Nous explorons les zones ouvertes aux visiteurs, comme le centre civique et cérémonial, les structures les plus hautes de plus de 50 mètres de haut, l'observatoire solaire des équinoxes et des solstices, entre autres multiples utilisations. De nombreux bâtiments peuvent être escaladés, il est donc toujours possible d'avoir une vue que seuls les rois et les plus puissants de la ville pouvaient voir auparavant. Pendant la promenade, vous serez accompagné d'un guide qui partagera des informations relatives à ce parc de renommée mondiale qui était autrefois la colonie maya la plus redoutée et la plus glorifiée.

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.

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!!

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!
