Ruinas Kohunlích Nightlife Tips by Stephen-KarenConn

The Deep Dark Jungle: Nocturnal Wildlife

Wild cats: the jaguar, ocelot, margay, puma and jaguarondi are all found in the forests of Quintana Roo. However they are seldom encountered, especially during daylight hours. According to our guide, jaguars frequent Kohunlich, but are mostly nocturnal. For a person who has their own transportation it should be possible to visit Kohunlich at night, but if I did so I would want to take some precautions.

The jaguar is the largest cat of the Americas, growing to 6 feet plus their tail. Their body is yellow with distinctive black ring-shaped spots. It has a very large muscular head and is extremely cunning. Just because you don't see a Jaguar doesn't mean it doesn't see you.

Malaria carrying mosquitoes are also more active at night.
