Calakmul Mayan Ruins

Calakmul may soon take its place in the ranks of Guatemala's Tikal and Caracol in Belize as one of the most important Mayan sites. Many stellae and some of the tallest pyramids in Mesoamerica cover its huge area. Archaeologists recently discovered the remains of high-ranking captives, providing further evidence of Calakmul's power and influence. We enter the site through the vast acreage of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, one of the last of the Yucatan rainforests. The Reserve's population includes howler monkeys, spider monkeys and hundreds of exotic bird species.
