We had an amazing tour today with James Martinez! He was fantastic! So knowledgeable and took his time throughout the tour to show us every detail along the way, make sure we were safe, and also made sure we were enjoying the experience. He taught us so much and truly enjoys his work. He is so passionate about the history of the land, and that made the tour even more memorable. Highly recommend!
We did the ATM tour with Hugh as our guide for the day, Irvan as our driver, Christian as the guide enroute, and Cami as the master of our delicious lunch. Mister Hugh was incredible - he’s been doing this work for a very long time and was full of knowledge, and made the trip fun while we were learning. The check-in/transport process was smooth. Trip was as expected. Overall such a great experience and I would highly recommend.
We did the ATM cave tour and had the amazing luck to get Hugh as our guide (highly suggest requesting him if possible). He encouraged us to ask questions and shared his wealth of knowledge about the Maya and what these caves meant to them. He narrated the entire 45 minute drive from San Ignacio, giving us a super interesting history lesson along the way, and if you pay attention you will learn so much about the Maya and the connections between human actions and the consequences of those actions that affect our environment. We felt incredibly privileged to take part in such an informative adventure, and I recommend booking through MayaWalk should you choose to do it. The next day we went to Caracol with Edione as our guide, and he was also a great story teller, with a ton of knowledge about the Maya to share. The ruins at Caracol have to be seen in person to truly appreciate the scale and craftsmanship that came from these ancient people, and I truly believe you can't go wrong booking either of these amazing tours with MayaWalk. I hope to go back within the next couple of years to take part in the other tours they offer!
