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