Calakmul Archaeological Zone

Calakmul was discovered at the beginning of the 30s of the last century, but it is until the 80s that systematic investigations allow the discovery of the essence of this city as one of the most important of the Classic Maya.

The most recent investigations have concluded that Calakmul is the most important city of the Classic Maya and together with Tikal and Palenque they headed the political organization of the highlands.

Access:

From the city of Campeche, it is done by taking Highway No. 261, heading south, until reaching the city of Escárcega. From there, take the deviation, Escárcega-Chetumal highway (Highway No. 186). At kilometer 95, passing the Conhuás ejido, take the deviation to the south along a paved road and after 60 kilometers you reach the site. The visitor can arrive at the site by means of public transport, however, it must walk to the entrance of the area.
