Night 2
Campamento en reserva de jaguares por The North Face.
Introducing the first safari in Mexico.
Yucatan Jungle Safari by Akampa x Viatura Unseen Escapes is not just a journey; it is an immersion into the beating heart of Mayan nature and culture. Inspired by the poetry and evocative narrative of Eduardo Galeano in his work "Memory of Fire", we want the traveler to experience a deep connection with history, nature and himself.
Durante la expedición, dormiremos en el espectacular campamento de Viatura Hacienda Xtojil -que es el primer campamento del estilo de África en México. Iremos a la reserva de Ría Lagartos para observar flamencos, cocodrilos y todo tipo de aves. Dormiremos en una reserva ecológica en un campamento diseñado en colaboración con The North Face. Esta reserva trabaja con jaguares, donde hay una gran población de esta especie; y, finalmente, haremos kayak en una laguna rodeada de monos.

Nos levantaremos antes de que salga el sol. Veremos el amanecer con una taza de café y un desayuno suave. De ahí comienza nuestra expedición. Nos trasladaremos en camionetas a la reserva de Ría Lagartos, donde veremos flamencos, cocodrilos y todo tipo de aves. Después llegaremos a la UMA San Manuel: territorio de jaguares. Aquí será nuestro campamento en casas de campaña de The North Face.

Day 3
On the third day, we will get up early to check the camera traps in the nature reserve to see if any jaguar (or any other animal) was captured during the night. We will go kayaking in the morning and do a hike where we will see all kinds of birds, and with luck, deer or felines. We will then head to Punta Laguna, where we will have the opportunity to see spider monkeys and howler monkeys. We finish the day back at the base camp, Viatura Hacienda Xtojil.
