Your experience begins with a comfortable pickup from Bacalar or Chetumal and a scenic drive to Kohunlich, one of the most special and least-visited Maya sites in southern Quintana Roo. From the start, it’s clear this is not a rushed or crowded tour, but a calm experience designed to be enjoyed at an easy pace.

Upon arrival, you’ll walk through a unique palm forest that surrounds ancient plazas, temples, and ceremonial structures. Accompanied by a professional native guide, you’ll learn how the ancient Maya lived, what they believed, and why Kohunlich played an important role in their world. The visit is relaxed, with time to listen, ask questions, and take photos without feeling hurried.

The highlight of the tour is the Sun Temple (Temple of the Masks), famous for its impressive stucco sculptures representing the solar deity Kinich Ajaw. From the top, you’ll enjoy beautiful views over the surrounding jungle and palm forest — one of those moments that truly makes the experience memorable.

For travellers looking to go deeper, an optional upgrade to Dzibanché is available. This former capital of the powerful Snake Kingdom offers monumental pyramids hidden in the jungle and allows you to explore two major Maya cities in one day, still far from the crowds.

At the end of the tour, you’ll return comfortably to your original pickup location with incredible photos, new stories, and the feeling of having experienced an authentic, unhurried Maya adventure.
