Xkopek is located in Valladolid, Yucatan state, it is a family project that emerged in 2016 as a space for the conservation and care of native bees, currently at risk due to the lack of information about them. Xkopek Apícola Park is located just over 11 blocks south of downtown Valladolid - you could walk there which would take just over 20 minutes, or by vehicle just over 5 minutes on the transfer. It is a 2 Ha property that is little by little being surrounded by the urban stain, in the future it will be a green lung in Valladolid, while this happens - and we will do our best to maintain it - we are still a wildlife refuge, a perfect environment for nature lovers, it is possible to see a large number of wild animals, insects, reptiles, and it will be a special place for bird watchers, as dry cenote is an excellent bird refuge. On our bee tour that you can enjoy, we can show you multiple elements of our flora and fauna. Yucatan has a hot and sunny weather much of the year, however we also have cold, cloudy and rainy days. Nights are usually cool, nice to sleep in, especially here in Xkopek, surrounded by many trees and vegetation. Due to the nature of the project it is advisable to use mosquito repellent, there is a special presence where the vegetation is most dense. As we mentioned Xkopek is a wildlife refuge in the urban area of Valladolid, we have neighbors in the surrounding colonies, so there may be noises of their own and common living areas. The park is a project worth sharing with other nature lovers, so it's important to know that we have non-guest visitors who come to learn more about bees or visiting the Restaurant. But we also have guests in other types of lodging, camping, Mayan houses, RVs, bungalows, with which you can share the best of your trip. Other spaces in the park are: parking, honey store, bee museum (you must visit our collection!), dining room, hammock areas, swimming pool (with hours of use from 9 am to 7 pm), bonfire, chapel, trails. For your mobility we have scooters for rent, you can ask for information before you arrive. Thanks to the support of many visitors we have grown to offer better facilities and better services, with your support we have managed to preserve the flora and fauna of this place, we have provided training on bee care to rural communities and many students have enjoyed our bee tour at no cost, with the aim of contributing to the conservation of bees.
