Awesome New Mayan Ruins - Tour guide picked us up at are choice of hotel in Bacalar, it was a nice drive to the ruins on newly paved highway, with good company from the tour guide. The excavation site has new facilities for sitting out of the sun, new clean washrooms and new walk ways. The ruins are definitely 10/10 being able to walk the steps, and the different levels of the pyramids really shows the shear size of the ancient city, are guide was very informative on Mayan culture and was able to answer are questions. Excellent tour guide and perfect English, this is a site I would definitely like to come back to as more of the city is excavated.

Book this trip! - This trip was absolutely one of the highlights of our 3 week travels around Mexico. Armando was a fantastic guide and his knowledge and passion of the Mayan culture was unbeatable. The whole day was perfectly organised from our early morning pick so that we were able to enjoy Ichkabal alone with only the monkeys, toucans and other wildlife for company. Truly a magical experience. Then onto the Pontoon boat ride and of course a swim in Lake Bacalar. And finally Los Rapidos for fun in the river. Such a great day and perfect for those who are short on time and want to make the most of some of Bacalar’s highlights. Armando really made our day perfect and I would 100% recommend this guide and this trip to anyone.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Day Exploring Bacalar with Geraldo! - Our full-day tour with Geraldo was absolutely incredible from start to finish! We explored the awe-inspiring Ichkabal ruins, took a breathtaking boat tour of the Bacalar Lagoon, and drifted through the stunning Los Rápidos. Every stop was amazing — but what made the experience truly unforgettable was Geraldo himself. His love and passion for his Mayan culture are infectious. You don’t just visit these places — you feel the history and connection through his stories and energy. By the end of the day, we were already talking about when we can come back… next time, snorkeling with sea turtles?! Yes, please! 🐢 One word of advice: don’t eat before the tour! Geraldo will introduce you to the best local taco stands for the perfect breakfast — I’m still drooling thinking about this morning’s tacos. 🌮 Thank you, Geraldo, for sharing your culture, your joy, and your incredible knowledge with us. We’ll be back!
