This six-day journey is a masterstroke for travelers eager to frame the excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026 with a deeper conquest: one of humanity’s most awe-inspiring treasures, Calakmul. Here, the untamed intensity of the jungle meets the refined grace of a historic walled city. It’s an itinerary that balances adrenaline and contemplation — ancient grandeur by day, colonial elegance by night.
Your adventure begins in Campeche.
We’ll welcome you at Aeropuerto Internacional de Campeche Ing Alberto Acuna Ongay or at the Tren Maya CPE Station, followed by a private transfer to your selected hotel for check-in.
Settle in and let the coastal air and pastel facades of this UNESCO-listed city set the tone for the days ahead.
After breakfast, set out on a guided walking tour through Campeche’s storied streets.
You’ll explore traditional neighborhoods, fortified walls, and vibrant plazas while uncovering the layered history that shaped this Caribbean-facing jewel of the Yucatán Peninsula.
At the end of the tour, enjoy a signature local beverage — a small but flavorful gesture that completes the cultural immersion. The afternoon is yours to wander at your own rhythm.
An early start begins with a boxed breakfast before heading deep into the jungle toward the legendary Calakmul Archaeological Zone.
Rising above the emerald canopy, its monumental pyramids speak of a powerful Maya dynasty that once rivaled Tikal. Standing at the summit, surrounded by endless green, is an experience that transcends time.
To enrich the day, you’ll enjoy a traditional lunch within a local community — authentic flavors rooted in ancestral traditions.
After breakfast, depart along the historic Camino Real route.
Your first stop is Hecelchakan, where a visit to the regional market offers a lively taste of daily life — and the chance to savor a classic torta de cochinita pibil, slow-roasted and richly seasoned.
Next, continue to Calkini to explore the community of Becal. Here, local artisans demonstrate the delicate craft of weaving jipi japa hats, sharing techniques passed down through generations.
On the return to Campeche, stop in Pomuch, known for its artisanal bakeries and its distinctive tradition of exposed bone displays within the cemetery — a deeply rooted cultural practice that reflects a unique relationship with remembrance and heritage.
The evening is free to enjoy at leisure.
A leisurely breakfast fuels a day entirely your own.
Relax by the sea, revisit your favorite corners of the historic center, browse boutiques, or simply pause and absorb the slow cadence of coastal life.
One final breakfast marks the close of your journey. At the scheduled time, you’ll be transferred to the airport or the Tren Maya station for your onward journey.
If your departure is later in the afternoon or evening, an additional activity can be arranged at extra cost — one last opportunity to extend your stay in this extraordinary corner of Mexico.
