What to expect

  1. 3h
    Hidden deep in the jungle, Ichkabal is one of the most important and mysterious Mayan cities ever discovered. Once a political and spiritual center, it played a key role in the formation of the ancient Mayan civilization. After many years of research and restoration, Ichkabal has recently opened to the public, offering a unique opportunity to explore a sacred site untouched by mass tourism.

    The journey begins at Ichkabal, where we walk among ancient temples and plazas surrounded by lush jungle. During the hike, it’s common to spot monkeys, foxes, and colorful tropical birds that inhabit this area. This is not only a visit to an archaeological site — it’s a step back in time to experience the magic, mystery, and nature of the Mayan world.

    1h
    we’ll enjoy a fresh breakfast with coffee, seasonal fruits, natural juice, and a variety of toasts before heading to Los Rápidos
  3. 4h · Admission ticket included
    Los Rápidos is one of the most stunning and unique parts of the Bacalar Lagoon — a natural canal where shades of turquoise and deep blue blend in a mesmerizing way. Here, you can let yourself float with the gentle current and feel completely connected to nature, surrounded by crystal-clear waters and the peaceful sound of the jungle.

    It’s also a perfect place to explore by kayak, gliding smoothly through the calm waters while admiring the incredible beauty of the lagoon. Or, if you prefer, simply chill by the water, enjoy a tropical drink, and take in the relaxing atmosphere.

    Los Rápidos is more than just a beautiful spot — it’s a natural paradise where time slows down, and every moment feels pure and alive. Whether you’re looking for adventure or serenity, this is one of those places that truly stays in your memory.
