About Calakmul Archaeological Site
Calakmul means "Two Adjacent Mounds" in Mayan. Located in the southeast of Chetumal, this pre-Hispanic settlement became the capital of the Mayan state and enemy of Tikal.
At the site there are a total of 117 steles and many funerary tombs from which vessels and clothing of officials have been recovered.
In the middle of the jungle, a challenge when visiting the archaeological zone is to climb one of its monumental constructions: Structure II, with a height of 55 meters (the third tallest pyramid in Mexico), or Structure I with a height of 35 meters. Being at the top will show you the great diversity of flora and fauna that surrounds the site.
