Campeche.

Located in the western third of the peninsula of Yucatan, Campeche state covers 56,000 square kilometers and 800, as well as the neighboring states of Yucatan and Quintana Roo, is almost completely flat. Here, on the eastern border of the state, the Biosphere Reserve of Calakmul is located, the largest protected area of Mexico.

With serene beaches overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Campeche attracts visitors looking to escape the tourist crowds. The capital has a charming colonial port, various Mayan ceremonial centers and nature reserves. The state has very few inhabitants and, since 40 percent of its territory is occupied by forest, is ideal for vacationers who want to experience the "back roads" of Mexico option.
