The great pyramid at the site (Structure 2), is over 45 m (148 ft) high, making it one of the tallest Mayan pyramids with spectacular views.

The surrounding rainforest, the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, is full of life, and with a little luck we can encounter ocelots, spider monkeys, white-nosed coatis, toucans, colorful wild turkeys, Yucatan black howlers, and sometimes even jaguars.

On our way back to our Ecolodge hotel we will stop by the unique Bat Cave, which is actually a dried out cenote that shelters one of the largest bat populations of all the neotropical regions.
