From Bacalar to Calakmul: jungle trek for wildlife, climb Structure II, Maya astronomy stories, native guides, small-group comfort.
“100% reccommend this trip. The ruins are incredible, our guide was so knowledgeable and helped us spot howler monkeys, spider monkeys, deer and a snake. It is a long journey but was very comfortable and well worth it.”
Walk underwater in Cozumel with a helmet and guide at Chankanaab. Small groups, reef viewing, and free snorkel gear after Sea Trek.
“It was a cool experience to do once! I was the only one diving in my time slot so it was basically private, and my guide was awesome enough to take pictures on my camera for me! There's not a ton to see in terms of a reef, but you can see the dolphins in the area next door and there are some neat fish. However, I can't recommend it for larger people, or those that just have large heads.

A long, guided jungle day at Calakmul, with an early start, wildlife sightings, and big Mayan views from towering ruins.
“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;)Auto-translated”
A 6-hour Cancun birdwatching hike in the jungle along Ruta de los Cenotes, led by a local expert, spotting 30+ species.
“Birding with Carlos was great! We saw many species & Carlos was nothing but helpful, knowledgeable & enthusiastic. This tour couldn’t have been better.”
