 Campeche is the state's capital and the least visited of the three main cities on the Yucatan Peninsula. That's no reason not to visit. The city, which is located 196 km southeast of Merida, is laid back and beautiful and surrounded by a wall, or baluartes, built in the late 17th century to protect it from attack.
Some of the original fortifications still stand.
The name of Campeche comes from the Mayan world "Ah-Kim-Pech", which means "The sir sun jigger", but since its pronunciation was difficult for the Spanish, they called it "Kna Pech", which means "Place of snakes and jiggers". |
