My name is Carlos, I am a professional tour guide with certification in Mayan Culture; I was born and raised in Bacalar Town with a special interest in wild nature and Mayan history. Ever since I started being a tour guide 5 years ago I like to provide the best and enriching tour experience for everybody. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and show them how amazing this part of Mexico is. My town is beautiful, we have the 7-color lake with four amazing cenotes and the Fort of San Felipe with a lot of history behind that I'd like to share with you on your next visit. If we have time I would like to share the spots where I grew up and all the best photo opportinities you can take home. I am ready to customize your day and make a memorable excursion, knowing that you're in great hands at all times. Bachelor's Degree in International Relations Federal Certification in Mayan Culture No restrictions

We had an awesome guide! Juan Carlos was friendly and informative. He catered trip to our family needs and short time at port. He even helped us find a store to get a forgotten packed item before heading back to ship. I give him a 10 star rating!
