Extreme Trekking of Laguna Lacanjá
The most extreme trek is to Laguna Lacanjá, which is further into the jungle, 14 km from the community. The hike is a bit heavy and takes about 3 hours, but it is super interesting to see everything in the jungle. You can go and return the same day, or camp and return the next day.
We did the two day tour and that’s where we got to experience and learn the most from the Lacandons. Even though they are already extremely modernized, we could see that they still have their wild side, as they still hunt and can live off what nature itself provides.
When we reached the lagoon, we followed their footsteps and went to bathe in what they were fishing for what we were going to eat. But the feel of the sand was not at all pleasant and later we learned that there were crocodiles. They are supposed to do nothing, but if we had known, we would not have done it. We recommend you to be very careful when traveling in the Selva Lacandona, this kind of danger does not necessarily appeal to us, so ask the locals beforehand if everything is safe.
