Experience a destination off the beaten tourist path

Hopelchen & Hecelchakan

Hopelchén is a small city in northeast Campeche with around 8,000 inhabitants. A must-see focal point within the city is the Church of San Antonio, but the Mayan archaeological and cultural sites just outside the city are truly beautiful sights to soak in.  A definite stop during your visit to Hopelchén is Koolel Kab, a women-run business that uses ancient practices and indigenous bees to produce luscious honey medicinal products. El Tabasqueño Archaeological Site is an awe-inspiring Mayan monument that is sure to be at the top of your list of places to explore. A delicious cultural experience to indulge in during your visit to nearby Hecelchakán is savoring this area’s famous Pan de Pomuch, a tasty bread that can be enjoyed as a sweet or savory delicacy. A trip to Blanca Flor jewelry shop to browse the handmade adornments is another must!
