Campeche
Campeche

 

The city of Campeche has a very rich history full of Mayan ruins, Spanish conquistadors and even pirates!  It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999 for its history and fort.  The fortification of Campeche was built by the Spanish to protect the ports on the Caribbean Sea from pirate attacks.  These were from the original Pirates of the Caribbean!  However Campeche is a modern city as well with advanced infrastructure.  It has a great balance of a modern Mexican City with a rich history.  Merida is only 2 hours from Campeche so it is easy to do in a day trip, we can help you plan!
