El Camaleón sits inside the Mayakoba gates, with open fairways, jungle and water. For photos, ask the club first, go in the last hour of daylight when play has thinned out, and keep off the greens.
Golf trips often come with no photos at all, apart from a scorecard. If your group or family is at Mayakoba because of El Camaleón, a short session on the course is a nice way to remember it.
Asking First
The course belongs to the club, and it is in use. Ask for permission through your concierge or the clubhouse, tell them the time and how many people, and follow their guidance about carts and where to walk. Stay off the greens.
The Frames
Open fairways with jungle behind are a rare change from sand and sea. A long, low sun in the last hour gives the grass real depth. A group photo on a tee box works well, and so does a quiet portrait of a parent with an adult child walking the fairway.
Mayakoba, Through Our Lens
Real IVAE Studios work on this coast, so you can see how this light and water look on camera. It shows our work in the area, not necessarily at Mayakoba.
