For me, Maya history is not just something I study — it is part of my family history. I am the great-grandson of Francisco May Pech, one of the Maya leaders of the Caste War in Quintana Roo. I was born and raised in southern Quintana Roo, surrounded by jungle, milpas, local traditions and the Maya language. This is the region I have called home all my life. When I take you to an ancient Maya city, I don't want you to leave with only dates, names and photographs. I want you to understand the people who built it, the jungle that surrounds it, and how that history is still connected to the people who live here today. My tours are private and flexible, shaped around your interests and your pace. I especially enjoy traveling with curious people — those who ask questions, notice wildlife along the way, want to spend a little longer exploring something that catches their attention, or simply prefer a conversation to a rehearsed tour script. Whether we are exploring Costa Maya, Bacalar, Chetumal or the ancient Maya cities of southern Quintana Roo, my goal is to give you more than sightseeing: context, conversation and a local perspective that helps the place make sense. And if you are visiting from a cruise ship, I understand that enjoying the day also means respecting your time. Your tour is planned with your ship's schedule and return logistics in mind. If you are looking for a private experience that goes beyond simply seeing the sights, come explore southern Quintana Roo with me. I’m Vladimir, and I look forward to welcoming you to my home.

Overview of your Costa Maya tour
Join me on an authentic journey deep into the jungle to explore Kohunlich, a unique Maya archaeological site known for its majestic Sun God mask panels and its impressive corozo palm forest, far away from mass tourism. It is one of my personal favorites in southern Quintana Roo, where ancient architecture blends beautifully with untouched nature. During our visit, with some luck we may spot birds and monkeys in the treetops that often appear along the way. Kohunlich is truly off the beaten path: there are no shops, no food stands, no phone signal, and no tourist services—only jungle, ruins, and serenity. I will be delighted to guide you there, sharing this hidden Mayan treasure with you.
