The state of Campeche Mexico has thousands of years of Mayan civilization to offer. Archeological sites are found everywhere and one of the most impressive and exciting ones is Calakmul. Give yourself the opportunity to find out who were this people. Dive in history, travel in time and experience what you can only experience in a country as rich and ancient as Mexico.
Inside the Calakmul Reserve in the State of Campeche, deep in the mexican jungles of what use to be the Mayan Peten Basin Region, some 36km (22 mi) from from the border with Guatemala we find the city of Calakmul, an archeological site, home of the largest and most powerful ancient Maya cities ever.
Calakmul was a major Maya power within the northern Peten region of Yucatan, southern Mexico. The city itself is estimated to have had a population of 50,000 people and amazing as it may seem, there are 6,750 ancient structures identified at the sitel, the largest of which is the great pyramid at the site with a structure which is over 45 meters (148 ft) high, making it one of the tallest of the Maya pyramids ever.
The history of the Maya Classic period is dominated by the rivalry between Tikal and Calakmul, likened to a struggle between two Maya "superpowers”. Calakmul was a rival city with equivalent resources that challenged the supremacy of Tikal and engaged in a strategy of surrounding it with its own network of allies. Eventually both cities succumbed to the spreading.
The idea behind Sectur’s (Mexican Ministry of Tourism) project is to show that Mexico is much more than just sun and beach. Converting quaint, culturally rich towns into visitor-friendly destinations, the government wants to make sure they retain their authentic Mexican charm, which is ultimately what sets them apart from other destinations.

This quiet town along the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo in Mexico is home to one of today’s best preserved Maya sites and the finest hotels facing the Caribbean Sea. When in Tulum, tourists can opt to stay in luxury beachfront boutique hotels that line the Tulum Hotels Zone, a section of the coastline where around 60 Maya-designed hotels provide accommodation.
{mosimage}Travel Mexico and its magnificent archelogical sites. Teotihuacan arose as a new religious center in the Mexican highland, around the time of Christ. Although its incipient period (the first two centuries B.C.) is poorly understood, archaeological data show that the next two centuries (A.D. 1-200) were characterized by monumental construction, during which Teotihuacan quickly became the largest and most populous urban center in the New World. By this time, the city already appears to have expanded to approximately 20 square km, with about 60,000 to 80,000 inhabitants.
Travel Mexico and travel in time. In Zacatecas nearly all of the city center buildings are nineteenth century or older; the topography and irregular street pattern (most streets are too steep and narrow for vehicles; many have steps in them) almost make one think of a medieval city like Toledo, Spain. The city, built on the site where silver was discovered in the 1530s, is crammed into a narrow canyon, with houses and churches perched on its nearly vertical walls.
About an hour’s drive east of Comitan is Lagunas de Montebello National Park (opened daily from 8:00 a.m. till sunset, entrance only US$1.75 per person), a striking array of lakes, lagoons, and small, medium and large ponds whose colors famously range from emerald green to pale blue, from deep purple to reddish black.
Taxco is a beautiful city built on a hill. It is rich with old and new silver mines, it has narrow streets and hundreds of silver shops. At the middle of the city there is a Colonial Plaza with a Basilica that it absolutely beautiful dating back to the 1700's.
