Hiking in the Jungle: Short or Long Walk

Duration: 1.5 to 4 hours
Difficulty: Low to moderate
Customizable: Yes, ideal for families, photographers, or active hikers

The Calakmul Reserve offers one of the richest and best-preserved jungles in Mexico. These guided hikes allow you to explore nature trails surrounded by centuries-old trees, bromeliads, wild orchids, and the possibility of encountering spider monkeys, toucans, and jaguar tracks. The short hike is ideal for those seeking a light and interpretive experience, while the long hike offers a deeper immersion into the ecosystem.

Both options are designed to suit your interests and physical condition. The tours include stops for observation, ecological interpretation, and moments of silence to connect with nature. These hikes can also be combined with nearby archaeological visits or the spectacle of the bat cave at the end of the day.

Recommendations:

• Bring 1.5 to 2 liters of water.

• Wear light, long-sleeved clothing.

• Wear closed-toe, comfortable shoes.

• Bring binoculars and a camera (optional).
