Camping Near Calakmul at Yaax’Che
My Yaax’Che Campsite in Calakmul Biosphere Campeche, Mexico Mexico’s Calakmul Biosphere is a wild jungle area with ancient Mayan ruins. Camping in the forest at Yaax’Che is a fun experience. Rumor was you could camp near the Mayan ruins of Calakmul inside the protected biosphere reserve. I learned the rumor was true after spending a few days there. Once you pass the main gate of the reserve (where they charge a small fee to enter) you’ll find the Yaax’Che campground a few kilometers down the road on the right. Because I didn’t have a car, I hired a taxi to bring me to the campground from the town of Xpujil for $250 Pesos ($20 US). The Yaax’Che campground is very cool. I used my own camping hammock, so it only cost $4 US a night to set it up under a shelter. You can also rent tents and cots from the campground if you don’t have your own with you though.
