About this experience

In one day you will have two contrasts of natures, archeology and aquatic beauty.
Konhulich offers us a complex Mayan citadel, so complex and ancient that it will amaze you at the first impression. We will find residential areas of the Mayan elite, a temple in honor of the ancient rulers, in which they are represented with stucco masks on the sides with a view of the sun.
To complement the day of the archaeological experience we will transfer you to the beautiful aquatic nature to enjoy the water and have a tranquility, peace of mind and relaxation in completely crystalline waters with the characteristic of the blue tones offered by the Bacalar lagoon of seven colors.

Detailed itinerary

Entering the archaeological zone we will visit the Mayan vestiges of commerce, residential and ceremonies. The area is large enough to explore and have many opportunities to interact and take advantage of the beautiful views of the wild environment that surrounds us. To finish the tour we will go to the residential area of the elites and we will learn what their lives were like in Pre-classical times. We will see birds of more than 30 species, in addition to observing a variety of flora and fauna.

Our guide will take you to a private, exclusive place in the lagoon to enjoy nature and appreciate the lagoon's classic aquamarine-blue hue. We will go directly to the shore to sunbathe, fresh air, and swim in the crystal clear waters that the lagoon offers us. Once you settle on the shore, you will prepare to carry out the special activity for you, which is in a kayak, this so that you can visit a part of the lagoon where you will see the mangrove, the emblematic stromatolites of the lagoon and other species of flora and fauna.
