We’ve covered all the accommodation options for a trip to Calakmul, one the biggest lost cities of the ancient Mayan civilisation, deep in heart of mexico.

Compare the many many Mayan sites scattered across the south of Mexico; some are like Chichen Itza, large, famous and easy to get to. Others, like the Calakmul ruins require a little more…determination. Deep in the Calakmul biosphere reserve, the reasons to visit this lost city are many, it’s enormous, it has very few visitors, and features some of the largest Mayan pyramids ever built. And at the pinnacle of these pyramids, a view of continuous Mexican jungle as far as the eye can see.

Aside from the historical site that stretches across 2 square kilometres and dates from the 6th century, the biosphere is also a fascinating destination worth visiting, More than 1,200,000 hectares of jungles is home to vast numbers of birds, mammals, reptiles and endemic plant-life. In fact one third of all bird-life in Mexico live in the biosphere as well as being home to the largest population of jaguars in Mexico.

Part of the fun of visiting Calakmul is that it is entirely off the beaten track, we’ve written a little post about How on Earth you get to Calakmul
