Zona Arqueológica de Calakmul

Not the easiest place to reach but the visit is definitely worth it! We left at 3am from Campeche and after a 6 hrs drive we reached this archeological site in the middle of the jungle where you can climb on the pyramids and enjoy a beautiful view of the area. I also suggest you to get a guide and go for a walk in the jungle where you might find monkeys and crocodiles

The site is absolutely amazing. Well worth the 2 h drive. The road has been refurbished so it’s a very smooth drive there with free parking right out the front. We arrived at 6 am and the park was already open. Signage inside the park could be a little better and there are no toilets in the park at this point (currently being built). It’s a lot of construction around the entrance area but the main site is untouched by this and a fantastic wander with monkeys and all kinds of animals around. Definitely recommend climbing the main pyramids, the sight is breath taking. Take lots to drink as amazingly the site is free of tourist shops and vendors at this point! also they only take cash. Safe travels!

Probably the best ruins you can visit. Climbing on top of the big pyramids is just spectacular and a once in a lifetime experience. It’s a long way to get there, but the road is new and so worth it. A big plus is also that there are nearly no tourists compared to other more popular sites.

Calakmul is very peaceful place with amazing Mayan pyramids and ruins. It was amazing to walk in the jungle and to hear all those animal sounds.

A harrowing drive, not for the faint of heart. It’s an amazing site, but not better than uxumal or coba or chichén itzá. Taking two days to get there was both fun and annoying. I’m sure it’ll be better once the Mayan train is active. It was surprisingly a but busy the weekday morning that we went

This is the best place I have ever visited. The site is huge, you can climb all the pyramids. As it is in the middle of the jungle, you can see tons of wildlife, most prominently the day-howler monkeys! Memory of a lifetime! Oh there are a LOT of mosquitoes, so be prepared. Sadly, but understandedly they want to exploit its potential more, so currently you can see a lot of construction along the way, even at the entrance of the ruins, while a hotel is being built in proximity as well…

This place is magical. I absolutely loved this place, our tour guide Lis was amazing and super friendly. We enjoyed driving through the jungle and making quick stops to admire the many different animals we got to see. Once we reached the ruins we were amazed by the breathtaking views and the enormous size of the site. Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to see all of it but it was an experience I will never forget. Please be aware of how dangerous the road is. We saw a car crash into a tree. You do not wanna crash with a tree in the middle of a jungle. Please be careful. The other down side was how loud European tourist are. They took away the peacefulness and charm of this place. Pleaseee be respectful of other tourist and the people who take care of this place.

Amazing place. Saw spider monkeys and howler monkeys. amazing climbing up the pyramids as well. They putting a lot of work into this place. Already can tell tourists are starting to flock there. I would recommend going sooner then later to take in this amazing Mayan ruin and be able to climb the pyramids before it’s to late.
