Walk with us through the ancient Mayan city of Calakmul, Mexico.

The combination between the Mayan architectural style known as Petén with miles and miles of protected forest creates stunning, lush views unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Check out the ancient city that’s even older than Chichén Itzá, and join us on a walking tour of Calakmul, Mexico.
