Jueves 4 Agosto


Hola !

Today we woke up really early, the driver from the travel agency came to pick us up at 6am in front of our hostel, we also pick up his wife and here we go, on our way to Calakmul. 3 hours and a half later, after a quick breakfast break we were in Balamku. More infos about Balamku HERE (coming soon).



After 1 hour in Balamku, we went back in the car and headed south to Calakmul. I heard about that hidden place thanks to Robin (the french guy I met in the plane and visit Mitla). We drove for one hour into the jungle, going deeper and deeper into it.Once there the driver left us in the main entrance, it was really strange, just a small "house" with one desk. 

Once inside the site, we decided to eat first and then to start our adventure in the jungle. The site is really big, and really lost in the middle of nowhere. We climbed a few temples, and had an amazing view, kilometers of jungle surrounding us !! To know more about the site of Calakmul it's HERE (coming soon).



 

Damien mocking me, because I'm scared of highs

During our walking and climbing, Damien cut his toe... it was bleeding quite a lot, so a bit scary, but according to him it did not hurt at all, just annoying because the blood became stiky with the heat.
the INCIDENT ! Damien cut one of his toes

While we were resting on a quite place, we encountered real wild monkeys !!! That was quite impressive, I even stop breathing for a while, because I did not want to scare them. I think they were 5, jumping from tree to tree, from branch to branch coming toward us. And then they suddently stop and went back from where they were coming.

After 3 hours and 30 minutes in the site, we were exhausted and went back in the car, after a few minutes drive in the jungle we both fall asleep, exhausted ! We were back in Campeche around 7pm. The rest of the evening wasn't much,  we ate junk food and  went to bed quite early.

buenas noches !
Caro et Damien
