Visit Campeche


Campeche is a vibrant port city on the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Nestled between lush jungle and the Caribbean Sea, it's an ideal destination for anyone seeking a mix of cultural experiences and natural beauty. The walled city center is lined with colorful cobblestone streets, resplendent colonial-era architecture, and historical plazas that hint at its rich history. Of particular note is Fuerte de San Miguel, one of Campeche's most iconic landmarks built by the Spanish in 1686 and open for visitors to explore.

Other attractions include Calakmul Biosphere Reserve which features an ancient Mayan archaeological site as well as stunning wildlife viewing opportunities, or Punta Solferino beach which offers tranquil waters perfect for swimming or snorkeling. History buffs will also enjoy learning about Campeche's storied past: it was once part of Spain's burgeoning New World colonies in the 1500s before becoming part of independent Mexico in 1824.
