DESCRIPTION:

This outfitter is located in Mexico, on the Yucatan Peninsula, famous for its Mayan pre-hispanic civilizations, the colonial architecture, the beautiful beaches, the hospitality of the people, the food, and the warm weather. With exclusive rights to over 160,000 acres of the best jungle hunting that Southeast Mexico has to offer, This outfitter is one of, if not the biggest outfitter in the area. They specialize in Ocellated Turkey & Brocket Deer hunting, and offer all available species with very high success rates, big trophies and have treated our clients very well. This part of the world is loaded with multiple species such as Ocellated Turkey, Red & Gray Brocket Deer, Yucatan Whitetail Deer, Greater Curassow, Crested Guan, Collared Peccary, plus small game like Coatimundi, Agouti, Paca, Gray Fox, small birds like Chachalaca, and Tinamou.

The guides are a mix of Mexican and American guides, and are very experienced, with many years of guiding hunters from all across the globe. Success rates have been 100% with turkeys, and many clients harvest two turkeys. This is primarily a gun hunt, but experienced bow-hunters are also able to hunt. Guides are experienced with archery equipment also. If you’re an archery hunter, the early season in February is best with the bow.

This hunt is done by way of spot and stalk, ground blinds, and elevated stands over the water and food sources found throughout the forest. In the months of April and May they call the strutting birds into range with electronic calls and decoys, and this has proven to be the most successful!

Another amazing part of this entire package are the accommodations. This outfitter takes pride in their operation and touts the best camps in business with all amenities of a hotel, like comfortable beds, air-conditioning, WiFi, private bathrooms with running water, warm showers, dining area, etc. The best part is that this is all available and you’ll be in the middle of the jungle. They’ve figured it out and they do it right. The outfitter does a really good job at tailor-making hunts and experiences for specific trophies, being it a colorful ocellated turkey or a rare and elusive red brocket deer. With the team that they have, the time and experience in the business, and a great infrastructure, they can cater to corporate groups, to single hunters, and can also offer additional services to enhance your trip on the front and/or back ends of your hunting trip. These trips would be activities such as sport fishing, eco-tourism, gastronomy experiences, etc.

The Yucatan Jungle, also known as the Maya Forest, is a remarkable and biodiverse ecosystem that covers a large part of the Yucatan Peninsula, which includes parts of Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. The region's lush vegetation, abundant wildlife, and cultural heritage make it a unique and captivating destination for hunters. The Yucatan Jungle is characterized by a variety of vegetation types, ranging from tropical rainforest to dry scrubland. It is home to numerous plant species, including orchids, bromeliads, cacti, and trees such as ceiba, chicle, and zapote. It's also know for the cenotes, which are natural sinkholes or underground caves filled with crystal-clear water that are prevalent throughout the Yucatan Jungle. These unique formations provide a magical and refreshing swimming experience and are also important sources of freshwater for local communities and wildlife.

There are many archaeological sites of the ancient Mayan civilization, such as Chichen Itza, Tulum, and Uxmal. These sites offer a glimpse into the history, culture, and architecture of one of the most advanced pre-Columbian societies. Many indigenous communities still live in the Yucatan Jungle, preserving their traditional cultures, languages, and livelihoods. The combination of these factors makes the Yucatan Jungle a place of exceptional beauty, ecological significance, and cultural richness, and a destination that should be treasured and protected for future generations to enjoy wha it has to offer.

The Yucatan Jungle has a tropical climate, characterized by hot and humid conditions throughout the year. The average temperature ranges from 26°C (79°F) to 28°C (82°F), with high humidity levels that can reach up to 90% during the rainy season. The region experiences two main seasons: a wet season that lasts from May to October, and a dry season from November to April. During the wet season, the region receives significant rainfall, which can cause flooding in some areas, and make travel and outdoor activities challenging. The dry season is generally more comfortable for visitors, with lower humidity levels and less rainfall.

The Yucatan Peninsula is also prone to tropical storms and hurricanes, which can occur between June and November. Visitors should be aware of weather conditions and follow safety guidelines during these periods. Overall, the climate in the Yucatan Jungle is suitable for tropical vegetation and wildlife, and provides a unique and challenging environment for outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors should come prepared for hot and humid conditions, and be mindful of weather and safety conditions during their stay.
