Drive to Calakmul!

It took Auryn a ton of research to finally find an option to get to Calakmul ruins for a reasonable price. It turns out that it's quite expensive to get to because it is deep in the jungle and there are little to no options for public transportation. We almost gave up on Calakmul, but my parents graciously gifted us some money to find reliable transportation as our Christmas present!

Our AirBnb host connected us with his friend who personally drove us to and from Calakmul. The drive took about 5 hours total, and the entire day took about 11 hours total. Once we turned off of the main highway we drove another hour on this winding road through the jungle! Our driver was quite... speedy... but he was really good about stopping to see animals. There was only one instance on the way there, and one on the way back that we thought we were going to crash. 😅😅😅Read more
