Ka'an Expeditions

In Campeche we will be able to find and explore a site from the pre-Hispanic Mayan era. It is located on the southeast side of the state of Campeche, almost on the border with Guatemala.

This region of Petén is where one of the most important reserves of the Calakmul biosphere is located. There we will find more than 6 thousand structures from the classic Mayan era such as pyramids, plazas and stelae.

The name of this place in the dialect means City of the two adjacent pyramids.

We Ka'an Expeditions carry out a morning walk in the Calakmul biosphere in the aforementioned area to get to know all the local flora and fauna.

First we will pick you up, since to get to the place you have to drive approximately two hours. We provide you with water, soft drinks and if you need it, breakfast.
