The ruins you can’t forget.

Published on Jul, 2024

Both Calukmul and Balamkuwere amazing sites. We got to see several local animals on our way to and from Calukmul. While that isn’t promised it sure was special. Getting to the top of one of the temples in Calukmul afforded us the opportunity to see a monkey! Also an incredible view of the complex and surrounding forest. Balancing was a shorter trips with a big payoff that I won’t spoil. Afterwards lunch/dinner was delicious, and well earned. The drive is long if you only go for one day, but worth it. Our guide was Willberth. He was amazing. A soft spoken gentleman with a passion for the natural world and human history. Couldn’t recommend this more. Went in the rainy season, had both sites to ourselves.

Great tour with a great guide!

Published on May, 2024

We had a great time on this tour! Willberth has an excellent knowledge about the archeology and wildlife. Definitely can recommend to go with this tour operator!

Fantastic trip to Calakmul

Published on Jan, 2024

Wonderful trip to Calakmul and our guide Wilbert was amazing. Learnt so much about the Mayans and this wonderful city. Highly recommend this trip!

If you want an expert guide to the less-traveled Mayan sites, Chelita is your tour service.

Published on Nov, 2023

We went on a three-day tour of Mayan ruins in both Campeche and Quintana Roo, spending two nights in Xipujil. Wilberth was a fabulous guide. He is extremely knowledgable, keeping up on the latest archaeological research and Mayan history and language, and eager to answer questions. He is also passionate about the environment and bird watching with an amazing eye. His English was excellent. We would definitely go with Chelita again.
