¡Recommendations and services!

Everything you need to know before traveling
Weather
The climate in the Calakmul region is classified as warm sub-humid. Especially from May to September it is usually very hot, so we recommend taking precautions such as carrying enough water to hydrate at all times, sunscreen and a cap or hat.
Gas
If you are traveling by car, gas stations are available in the town of Xpujil, at the entrances coming from Chetumal and Escárcega, each with a convenience store and restrooms. In addition to these, there are other gas stations near the sites of Xpujil and Calakmul, the latter in the community of Conhuas. We recommend filling up with enough fuel for your trips around Calakmul.
ATM
When planning your visit to Calakmul, it is important to note that currently the only banks in Xpujil are Azteca and Bienestar. If you wish to withdraw money, there are only ATMs for Banco Azteca, Bienestar, and BBVA.
As of 2025, Xpujil has six convenience stores that accept card payments (Oxxo, Dunosusa, and Super Willys). Beyond that, most establishments do not accept card payments (mainly in the communities), so we recommend that you carry enough cash .
Public transport
The municipality of Calakmul can be reached by car, bus, shared taxi, or train. We recommend visiting www.ado.com.mx and searching for routes to Xpujil (the municipal capital of Calakmul) for more detailed information.

Have breakfast before starting the tour. Bring enough water, snacks or some fruit. Wear comfortable and closed shoes.
