Highlights

The magic begins from entering the Biosphere Reserve very early where you will be able to observe and live with more than eighty-six species of mammals before entering your tour of the archaeological zone before and during the excursion. Experience the sensation of being close to jaguars, pumas, ocelots, ocelots and lions (five of the six felines that currently live in Mexico), as well as spider monkeys, anteaters, eagles, tapirs and more than 300 species of birds. You will be able to admire the beauty of the orchids and endless flora that surrounds the largest reserve in Mexico; here you will find about seventy-three different types. In the archaeological zone of Calakmul you will discover the settlements of this Mayan urban center between the jungle and its trails, you will be able to climb the 55-meter-high structures on a 100-meter esplanade with a wonderful view of the green sea, it is an experience worth a visit.

A Breathtaking adventure ! - I've chosen to book this excursion in Calakmul organized by Vamo a Rola and I'm very happy about my adventure in Sustainable Calakmul. I met with my driver Victor at 4 AM, we have been together to Calakmul and the English speaking guide, René, joined us directly at the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. They both did a really good job, Victor is efficient and a very good driver,  and René gave me a lot of explanations about the archeological site of Calakmul. We also observed some animals in the biosphere reserve. This was an amazing trip ! I've been back in Campeche at 5 PM. One possible improvement about this activity is concerning communications before the excursion with the tour operator. It would be very relevant that the tour operator send an email 24 hours before the excursion to confirm everything. In my case, I had to contact directly the tour operator to check that everything was alright as I had no confirmation. But vamo a rola did a great job in the end!

Tour cancelled the morning before - Less that 24 hours before scheduled pickup, this tour was cancelled. The reason was that I was the only person who had signed up for a tour that day. No attempt was made to connect with another operator or to provide any way for me to visit Calakmul. Their only offer was for me to pay full price for two people. Hotel Castelmar came through with a private tour at a reasonable price, thank goodness.
