Ancient Mayan city historians now believe to have been bigger than Chichén Itzá.

Saying that Calakmul is breathtaking will not give this place enough justice. It has beautifully preserved ruins, clad in vegetation, which gives them this mysterious and adventurous look. Waliking amids the jungle and discovering all this ancient places is totally a different experience compared to any other ruin. The site is also so huge and vast , that is likely that you will see very few tourists even in crowded periods. The site is reachable by a 40km bumpy road, which will take you 1h and a half from the main road. Be prepares to stay there at least 3 hours and bring lots of water. You will need them. A bit off hand but totally worth it

If you plan to go close to Campeche state, you must not miss Calakmul. It's one of the biggest Maya sites from the classic era and very complementary to the post-classic sites like Chichen Itza. Since it's quite remote, there aren't many visitors. Plan in enough time, since it takes almost 2 hours to get there from the main road, and the site it huge, so there's a lot of walking. Also, you absolutely want to climb the pyramid, which also needs some time planned in. We were traveling Yucatan via rental car, but we decided to do Calakmul with a tour operator (Ka'an Expeditions, see my separate review). This turned our to be a good move, so we didn't have to be worried about the road and the car, and were't as tired as you'd probably be when driving all the hours on your own. If you go on your own, make sure you bring food and water, as you should plan to spend at least 3 hours at the site. The site itself left stunning memories with us, including the stunning views from the top of the pyramids. I've been traveling to many places, but haven't seen anything comparable so far.

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time visiting Calakmul. Kary was super helpful getting everything organized for us. The walk through the rainforest to enjoy the flora and fauna was a fantastic way to start the tour. We enjoyed bird spotting, howler monkeys, and a bizarre stinging caterpillar that looked like a spikey branch which attached to my pants. The ruins deep in the jungle were my favorite that I’ve ever been to. Very remote, no crowds of people, and absolutely stunning pyramids towering over the canopy. Our guide Ezekiel provided great information and was able to answer our many, many questions about Mayan culture both past and present. The campground was in a pretty spot near a seasonal lake, luckily full after a season of heavy rain. The long road to the campground was bumpy but passable. No hot water available for showers, but air mattresses, sleeping bags, and tents were nice and covered by a palapa which kept everything dry.

The chicaná ruins are impressive Rio Bec style ruins, with a wonderful temple whose entrance resembles the mouth of a jaguar, symbolising the entrance to the netherworld. Definitely worth visiting.
