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

Amazing place!! A hidden mayan gem, just make sure to take water and mosquito repellent as there are many. But great place to take pics

So glad we did this. It was super hot, but worth it. We only walked part of it, since it was sooo hot, but really neat. The section we started at had a small museum at the base of it that was included in the entry fee (I think was only around $3USD/pp). Highly recommend.

We loved how beautiful the centre of Campeche was. From the colourful colonial style of the buildings to the stunning cathedral lit up at night. There are plenty of restaurants as well to experience or you can just sit in the main plaza and watch the world go by.

If you're in the area to visit Calakmul, there really is no excuse not to visit Xpujil as well. This site is located on the west end of town and was an easy walk from our hotel. Not too many Mayan sites are so easily accessible. Though small, (we took our time and probably spent around 30 minutes there) it's worth visiting to see some well preserved structures in a jungle setting. You won't see too many visitors here as Calakmul is the big draw in the area. We visited in the morning just as we were getting ready to head out of town and had the site to ourselves with the exception of one other couple.
