We were surprised by the fee right at the beginning of the road after leaving the main road. As foreigners, we had to pay 305 pesos per person plus 90 pesos. This is addition to the 100 pesos per person entrance fee, which is paid at the park entrance. Only cash! The road is relatively well-maintained, but the walk is long. Restrooms are only available at the entrance. The first pyramid is 800 meters away. There were brief directions, but only one map of the entire complex. Unfortunately, the information was very limited in English. Unfortunately, we didn't see any of the animals, except for a peacock turkey. At the entrance, it says that you're not allowed to climb pyramids, but it wasn't a problem with the two largest ones. It took us three hours to see everything.

First of all it is worth every KM you drive and step you take. Just an incredible archaeological site. You can climb up the structures and get an amazing view over the jungle. You even get to see some apes. There weren't a lot of people, but in the next few years this will probably change due to the Mayan Train. The road is asphalted, there is no more road work. But still it takes about 1 1/2 hours for the 60km.

Its amazing to be able to climb to the top of three pyramids. The new Maya tren Calakmul hotel looks good, I walked through just as it was opening. Its the closest accommodation to the ruins, but still 11km away.

Due to el tren Maya, the road to Calakmul is a breeze to drive on now. Unfortunately that also means more tourists. That being said, visiting the ruins of Calakmul is definitely still an adventure, as the nearest town of Xpujil is 2+ hours away. Once there, the sites facilities have been completely renovated, with a new parking lot, toilets, ticket office and a very nice small museum including some great sites. The walkways are easily accessible and the structures are the most impressive I've ever seen. Add wild monkeys, toucans and even a wild tapir to complete the experience! The only downside is the walkways and maps are pretty difficult to wrap your head around, so getting lost is pretty easy, though highly recommended if you have the time :-)

The site is absolutely amazing. Well worth the 2 h drive. The road has been refurbished so it’s a very smooth drive there with free parking right out the front. We arrived at 6 am and the park was already open. Signage inside the park could be a little better and there are no toilets in the park at this point (currently being built). It’s a lot of construction around the entrance area but the main site is untouched by this and a fantastic wander with monkeys and all kinds of animals around. Definitely recommend climbing the main pyramids, the sight is breath taking. Take lots to drink as amazingly the site is free of tourist shops and vendors at this point! also they only take cash. Safe travels!

Here's what you need to know before visiting Calakmul (2025): -Total entry cost: 305 MXN (biosphere, obligatory) + 100 MXN (site ticket) = 405 pesos per person -Free shaded parking -No food or drinks sold inside – bring your own -Toilets only at the entrance How to get there: From Highway 186, follow the well-marked turn for Calakmul. After the checkpoint (where you pay 305 MXN), the road continues through the jungle. It’s paved/cemented but has curves and some potholes. Easy to drive. The checkpoint is also your last stop for gas, snacks, and water – stock up! We stayed in Xpujil, 2 hours from the site – perfect base. Coming from Campeche takes 5–7 hours, so staying nearby is a good idea. The site is deep in the jungle, peaceful and magical. Easy walking trails in the forest, but steep climbs on the pyramids – 100% worth it for the view! Tours are available (transport + guide + tickets for ~2400 MXN), but we went independently with a rental car and it was super manageable. Highly recommended if you’re looking for something authentic and less touristy. Totally worth the effort if you have time!

There is a lot to see here including three big, climbable temples. Also, chances are high to spot wildlife. However, the big drawback is the location, because it just takes forever to get here (over 1 hour of driving after entering the park) through winding jungle roads (which are in good condition, however). It is also quite expensive (you pay twice, once at the park entry 315 pesos, and again 100 pesos when you actually enter the ruins after long driving). At least parking is free here. Also, it was not as empty as I expected, given the remote location, since there were quite a few guided groups running around, and groups tend to make a lot of noise. At the top of the pyramids, you'll likely not be alone.

Drive there is easy now - a new road had been built, but it is still long. 60km through the jungle there and back 30km/h, at times 40-60 km/h. On 27th km there is a 1200m loop through the jungle, I recommend you take it, but walk slowly, quietly and be receptive. You may see a lot of animals that way. We got the full experience with a snake rattling at us - maybe not entirely preferable for many. The site itself is epic and the main climb is totally worth it. You'll get well above the jungle. Monkeys in the trees are a plenty. If you're hot, tired, you may skip the Muralia part, nothing there really. Bring some water, it's about 2hrs on the site.

Not the easiest place to reach but the visit is definitely worth it! We left at 3am from Campeche and after a 6 hrs drive we reached this archeological site in the middle of the jungle where you can climb on the pyramids and enjoy a beautiful view of the area. I also suggest you to get a guide and go for a walk in the jungle where you might find monkeys and crocodiles

Probably the best ruins you can visit. Climbing on top of the big pyramids is just spectacular and a once in a lifetime experience. It’s a long way to get there, but the road is new and so worth it. A big plus is also that there are nearly no tourists compared to other more popular sites.

At the top of the pyramids, you'll likely not be alone.

The cenote itself is beautifully located. The facilities are a bit run down. We spent about an hour in the place, and were all alone the entire time. Life jackets provided and opportunities to kayak and swim. The water is quite warm so the swim wasn't as refreshing as we'd hoped. All in all a nice place but probably not worth the 1.5h detour over very poorly maintained roads.

The place is decent, but Agua Azul is a lie. It’s murky green water. Naturally it’s beautiful, but nothing like the beautiful crystal clear waters of northern Yucatan peninsula. Nice the kayaks were included. 200 pesos seemed like a lot for a remote site like this, but overall a good experience. Probably wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re already in the area looking to buy some time. Monkeys are always a plus!

I really enjoyed this place. The men that ran the zip line really made sure I felt safe and were very patient. The only reason I didn't give 5 star is because they do not have water or snacks to purchase and if your there all day you will need to pack a lunch. BUT the team was helpful and went to town for us to purchase water. Overall worth the drive!

Beautiful place, very exciting the zip line, and swimming in the cenote to rejuvenate amazing 😀

This is a really lovely open air Cenote. First you take a walk, we also did a zip line high above the lake, that was awesome. You see the monkeys in the trees, and after aclgreat walk around, we had a “refreshing’. Swim in over 30’ C water. The middle of the lake is a bit colder. You should just visit this Cenote. You can also cano there.

Zip-lines were not working and we were charged 150 pesos per person. This is much higher than it used to be according to some reviews. But the worst of it all was that the gate was not fully opened which resulted in some scratches and a bump in our rental car... That being said, the place is great for kayaking and watching local nature. There are plenty of howling monkeys in the area! Observing them in the natural habitat was the highlight of the day.

Definitely closed for a long time now. No guards though, and the cenote is easily accessible around the utility shed. Absolutely worth it, beautiful scenery and amazing water. A couple local kids were enjoying when we stopped by and didn't care about our presence. Bring what you need and check it out, it's worth making the detour and stop.

One of the oldest Mayan cities with amazingly preserved artifacts. The 5 floor pyramid is beautiful, the whole site is 10/10.

The most breathtaking sight I have seen so far! It is much bigger than you can imagine. We took a guide because there was 1 available and there were no visitors so it felt like a real private tour. The guide explained us much more than you are able to find yourself which made the experience even better!

Amazing and calm, do not miss this archeological site!!! After being shocked by the experience in Chichén Itzá with the many thousands of shouting vendors constantly breathing in our neck to buy at their stands, here we went through the opposite. Instead of the crowded and loud place we arrived to a calm and peaceful Mayan site with grandiose well-preserved ruins. We were probably a total of 10 people at the site at noon on this Tuesday. So special, we loved it! ❤️

Made an afternoon trip from Campeche as part of a Yucatán roadtrip. Absolutely worth the drive and feels unique compared with other sites in the region. Mid-sized site with a handful of enormous structures, most importantly the massive acropolis with the main palace. Almost everything can be climbed, the notable exception being the palace. Excellent small museum with everything translated into English. Iguanas are sparser compared to other regional sites so spotting them is a real treat.

A breathtaking site in incredible condition. Entrance is only 100 pesos and it is well worth getting a guide (although there is a great museum and helpful signage too). We spent 2.5 hours there but would have liked to stay longer

Nice archeological complex. We were almost alone in there. Not many tourist. Good value for the cheap entry fee. Lots of mosquitoes - bring some protection.

A must do in Campeche !!! Ancient beauty that the Mayas build & is still standing in great condition. The site is well kept, but no stores to buy water or food, so go prepare & it's really humid and hot. Mosquitoes 🦟 will bite you since you walk in, but you are in the middle of a tropical jungle, so take gallons of Mosquito repellent!!! Besides that, it's an incredible place to explore the greatest of the Mundo Maya in Mexico 🇲🇽

(Translated by Google) Located a few steps from the road so you will have no problem parking. Unfortunately, at the time we visited, the access to the viewpoint was closed, so we could only see it from afar. It would be great if they put up a sign with hours 👌🏼 But without a doubt the view from that entire area is super beautiful! On the other side of the road is the municipal pantheon, which has beautiful paintings on the outside. (Original) Ubicado a unos pasos de la carretera por lo que no tendrás problema para estacionarte. Desafortunadamente en el horario en el que pasamos el acceso al mirador estaba cerrado, por lo que sólo pudimos apreciarlo de lejos, sería genial que pusieran algún letrero con horarios 👌🏼 Pero sin duda la vista desde toda esa zona es súper bonita! Del otro lado de la carretera está el panteón municipal que en su exterior cuenta con lindas pinturas

(Translated by Google) "A few steps from touching the sky and the sea." Without a doubt, a different place that emphasizes how immense the sea is, like a sky that when merged you can see the immensity of nature and that little by little man is absorbing, a beautiful picturesque place with free access for anyone. and practically open all day, with an entrance like the pier and roofs that fall as they go into the sea of ​​a turquoise blue color, and in other parts emerald green, with the presence of the king star, and when it gives way, enjoy the sunset with the children, couple or family itself, a place that is essential to see when passing through Champotón, and enjoy the serenity of the sea and the grandeur of the skies. #LetsGuide (Original) "A unos pasos de tocar el cielo y el mar". Sin duda un lugar diferente del cual recalca lo inmenso que es el mar, al igual que un cielo que al fusionarse se ve la inmensidad de la naturaleza y que poco a poco el hombre va absorbiendo, un bonito lugar pintoresco on libre acceso para cualquier persona y prácticamente abierto todo el día, con entrada como el muelle y techados que caen a como se van adentrando hacia el mar de una coloración azul turquesa, y en otras parte verde esmeralda, con la presencia del astro rey, y al ceder este disfrutar el ocaso con los niños, pareja o familia misma, un lugar que es imprescindible ver al pasar por Champotón, y disfrutar la serenidad del mar y la grandeza de los cielos. #LetsGuide

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and very transparent beach, without a doubt one of the most calm and beautiful that I have had the pleasure of enjoying. Far from the hustle and bustle and the comings and goings of people, this is undoubtedly one of the best options to come and relax and forget about the daily stress of the city. (Original) Una playa hermosa y muy transparente, sin duda una de las mas tranquilas y bellas que he tenido el gusto de disfrutar.

This is a pretty unique attraction to visit in Mexico. An original fortified bastion with a former city gate within the framework of surviving and restored city walls. It appears like something you'd see in Spain or Portugal, which is what makes it so neat. It's not exactly pretty or spectacular, but it is unique. There are a few shops and a restaurant or two on the "old" side of the walls. If you look north, off in the distance you can see the Sea Gate at the other end of the old city. Nice!

A walk along the old Campeche city walls comes with some nice views. Keep in mind there is zero shade.

One of the best historical sights in town! For only 15 pesos you are allowed to climb the walls of the former fortifications with a beautiful view over the colorful city center. Highly recommended, well worth the price. Can be quite hot up there in the sun, though, better bring some water and a hat. You might expect to spent about 20 minutes there, if you walk all around.

Just a small part of Mexico's history. The whole city is really nice. Night show at Puerta de Tierra is ok, but unfortunately is only in Spanish, they should include an English version to welcome foreign tourism.

Fantastic little museum. Great collection and display of Mayan culture and history of Campeche... Also some awesome facts about 🏴‍☠️!!! The staff were eager to answer any questions about the exhibits and there were plenty of language options. Great for a quick tour and lesson on the area!

Worth a visit.Long wall,(like the great Chinas wall,but maybe Ch shorter:)). Beautiful views around for a 15 mnx cost.

Part of old colonial fort. Nice view from the walls.Pirat room at the entrance😁. Entrance fee 15 pesos. Also good pub opposite gate🍻

This is a house of a wealthy family turned into a museum. It’s shows the lifestyle and living standards of wealthy merchant family when compared to common people. It’s situated on the main central square. Nothing special and was small, however our tour guide made is interesting and the rating is in context of Campeche. We took a two hours walking tour which covered this. The tour was very reasonable.

20 mp each 03/22. Nice bit of history from the colonial Era on Campeche. It takes about 30 min.at a slow pace. Lots of looking around to do. There is a book store but everything I looked was in Spanish.

Free entry, you just have to sign. Nice House with English and Spanish description of the rooms.

This is free and very interesting to ddiscover the colonial period of Campeche. Located in front of a nice park but sad that most of the information is in Spanish, not much in English, so a sign for me to learn Spanish! Not very well maintained, hence just 4 stars

Beautiful place, inexpensive to get in and the gift shop has some nice items which are also very affordable. Worth the visit.

Nice house, it gives you an idea how the rich people live in Campeche on the past. This is inexpensive place. Only 20 pesos.

Nice place to see how People usted to live years ago. There is a bookstore too.

Pretty nice park in town. Just about the only shade available. The trolley tour was fine because they allowed our dog to ride along.

I met with a girl off Tinder here. It was nice to sit at the benches along the perimeter. It's not too brightly lit so we felt private enough to kiss a lot. 10/10

Beautiful, colonial main square with lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Lots to see and do in the surrounding area of this great city.

Plaza de la Independencia is a typical Mexican colonial square. It features a grand church and arcade government building and colorful mansions of the richest citizens of the city. There is a park in the middle of the square and a typical kiosk. All very standard stuff for Mexico, but this plaza is very well maintained, and so are the buildings around it giving it a very pristine, fresh look.

Beautiful plaza and downtown

This place has a lot of charme and the whole atmosphere is great! I would visit it in the evening

Very nice square! Beautiful historic buildings, live music on Sunday evenings and the Cathedral is gorgeous at night!

(Translated by Google) There are nice things but a little expensive for the crafts standard.

Beautiful and restful. The fort was built in the 1700's. It is now a garden with swings on the trees and benches to sit and enjoy nature 😊

As they say, it is small and pricey at 15 pesos. But, still a nice conversion from a fort into a garden.

It really depends on what you like and when you go here (weather, rain, sun...). It's really small, but it's also only a token of 15 pesos to enter.

We went inside and didn’t see anyone, since there is no sign that says it is indefinitely closed for maintenance. After five minutes, a nice guy came out of the office to tell us the truth. We had come in order to enjoy the green place for some time but it is too small anyway.

Cool place to see plants and take a few photos.

The outside is beautiful. The trees inside look good.

This a bid place for me because I enjoy visit her for the geology on the list of beautiful city's.

Fun and educational walk-through with various artifacts. Allocate 40-60mins.

(Translated by Google) A small museum with a few rooms containing interesting exhibits regarding Mayan culture and the city of Campeche. One of the rooms that I liked the most is the representation of what a ship looked like inside. Apparently at some point in the museum, the back of the ship had projections and movement to simulate the sensation of movement of the ship, but only the gaps remain from the projectors and that area no longer has movement, I still recommend visiting the museum. Note: the museum seems to be closed since the main door remains closed and there is little visibility inside, but the place is in operation, you just have to push the door to enter. (Original) Un museo pequeño con unas cuantas salas que contienen exposiciones interesantes con respecto a la cultura maya y a la ciudad de Campeche. Una de las salas que más me gustaron es la representación de como era un barco por dentro. Al parecer en algún momento del museo, la parte de atrás del barco tuvo proyecciones y movimiento para simular la sensación de movimiento del barco, pero de los proyectores solo quedan los huecos y esa área ya no tiene movimiento, aún así recomiendo visitar el museo. Nota: el museo pareciera que está cerrado ya que la puerta principal permanece cerrada y tiene poca visibilidad al interior, pero el lugar si está en funcionamiento, solo hay que empujar la puerta para entrar.

(Translated by Google) Excellent explanation from the guide and very friendly! Beautiful place to remember what life was like on a boat, even with a small place to feel like you are on one! (Original) Excelente explicación del guía y muy amable! Bello lugar para recordar como era la vida en un bote hasta con un pequeño lugar para sentirte que estás en uno!

(Translated by Google) The Museum of the City of Campeche, although small, is beautiful, it is worth visiting. On the ground floor they show us the most famous pirates and privateers who came to the city, as well as data from the time; On the upper floor, they show us replicas of different ships that were used in those years, with illustrations, models and very interesting explanations. For Mexicans, entry is free (we went on Sunday). Highly recommended. (Original) El Museo de la Ciudad de Campeche, aunque pequeño, es precioso, vale la pena visitarlo. En la planta baja nos muestran los piratas y los corsarios más famosos que llegaron a la ciudad, así como datos de la época; en la planta alta, nos muestran replicas de diferentes navíos que se utilizaban en esos años, con ilustraciones, maquetas y explicaciones por demás interesantes. Para los mexicanos la entrada es gratuita (nosotros fuimos en domingo). Altamente recomendado.

(Translated by Google) I revisited it after 7 years… I found the unpleasant surprise that two of its rooms were already closed. It's a shame because they were very interesting rooms about piracy and the city's fortifications. When asking when they were reopening, one of the ladies at the entrance petulantly tried to minimize the closure and the fact that we were not sure when they would reopen or what would happen. The Navigation Room and the mural are the most salvageable now… The good explanation of piracy was lost. It is small and quick to travel. (Original) Lo revisité después de 7 años… Me encontré con la desagradable sorpresa que dos de sus salas ya fueron cerrada. Es una lástima porque eran salas muy interesantes sobre la piratería y fortificaciones de la ciudad. Al preguntar cuándo reabrían, una de las señorita de la entrada, con petulancia, intento minimizar el cierre y el hecho de no tener certeza de cuándo reabrirán o qué sucederá. La Sala de navegación y el mural es lo más rescatable ahora… Se perdió la buena explicación de la piratería. Es pequeño y de rápido recorrido.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting place, the guide explains very well the history of the beginning of the city and its history as a port of navigation in general. (Original) Un lugar muy interesante, el guia explica muy bien la historia del inicio de la ciudad de su historia como puerto de la navegación en general

Amazing tour of the historic downtown of Campeche. As a campechano, I learned so much about my town’s history. You hear about pirates all the time, but I had no idea how intertwined the city’s history was with pirate life and their invasion of Campeche. I truly recommend this tour for the immersive experience and for a beautiful evening stroll of the city

(Translated by Google) Good night show to walk through the streets of the historic center, listen to legends, enjoy a good show and learn about the history of Campeche. There is a main character who is characterized as "serene" (caretaker and lighter of antique lamps on the street), good clothing, and brings good sound equipment to be heard by the group that follows him. The tour lasts up to 1.30 hrs and is very entertaining. I loved the character of Crazy Olga, excellent dialogue, very well done and acted. There are surprises and substitutes... Hahaha (Original) Buen espectáculo nocturno para caminar por las calles del centro histórico, escuchar leyendas, disfrutar de un buen show y aprender sobre la historia de Campeche.

(Translated by Google) A show full of magic, history, and suspense. It is the second time I have taken it and they always surprise me. Something that must be highlighted is that the entire team carrying out the experience follows the Biosafety protocols to the letter. It is important to find them in Campeche, they are located at the sea gate, where the tour begins. And believe me, you will have a great time, the sound is very good. And the way they tell you the story makes you live and it seems like it lives there, if you go ask for Chocolate 😅. It is important to wear comfortable tennis shoes, preferably, no heels. (Original) Un espectáculo lleno de magia, historia, y suspenso es la segunda vez que lo tomo y siempre me sorprenden, algo que se tiene que resaltar es que todo el equipo que lleva acabo la experiencia sigue al pie de la letra los protocolos de Bioseguridad. Importante para encontrarlos en Campeche esta situados en la puerta de mar, ahí inicial el recorrido. Y creeme que se la pasarán muy bien, el sonido es muy bueno. Y la Manera que te cuentan la historia te han vivir y pareciera que vive ahí, si van pregunte por Chocolate 😅. Importante llevar zapatos cómoda tenis de preferencia, nada de tacones.

(Translated by Google) It's a mid-afternoon family tour, approximately 50 minutes long. Narration is provided in Spanish and English. It shows several tourist sites. You're not allowed to get off, but the guide told us that if the weather is good, we could make a 5-minute stopover. They offer discounts for people with INAPAM (National Institute of Population and Population Development) and children. It's an interesting way to explore Campeche and the surrounding area. (Original) Es un paseo familiar de media tarde, aproximadamente de 50 min. Te van narrando en español e inglés. Muestra varios sitios con interés turístico, no se permite bajar, pero el guía nos dijo que por buen tiempo podíamos hacer una escala de 5 min. Hacen descuento a personas con inapam y niños. Para conocer Campeche y alrededores está interesante.

Congratulations to the team of professionals. (Original) Imperdible paseo si visitas Campeche, no puedes irte sin vivirlo. Es una experiencia teatral, artística, histórica muy emocionante de inicio a fin. Felicidades al equipo de profesionales.

Very nice museum. Helpful staff and wonderful exhibits of Mayan artifacts. The explanations are also in English. The jade mask is probably the highlight of the museum. You can also access the walkway atop the old city wall from the museum.

The centerpiece of the collection is an exquisite jade mask that alone is worth the visit. Of all the museums we visited in Campeche, this little Mayan museum was a favourite. Admission includes access to the old city ramparts, for a stroll on the walls.

We had been trying to get up on the walls of the old town for a while and found this place which though small has some nice pieces in it - the star of the show is a jade mask. Just incredibly beautiful. The view from the top of the wall is nice too and you can look out across the Gulf of Mexico and see if there any pirates!

Nice museum but quite small. Worth the $5 US price.

Calakmul mask is awesome, it's displayed with glass 360°. Museum is pretty small and the mask is the best of it. You can walk over the wall and have some views. 70 mxn/person

Outstanding display of Maya architectural elements from different styles around Campeche i.e. steals and decorative carving. Beautifully displayed and explained in English as well as Spanish. Part of it is air conditioned. Also display and explanation of a fine jade death mask and associated regalia and burial goods. Be aware that it closes at 3 p.m.

Good value & quality exhibits. There are some very special Mayan artifacts here. Many displays are in both Spanish and English and they also include Mayan language. We visited the museum after our trip to Calakmul, which made the artifacts and information even more relatable. The museum is the perfect spot for a cool, quiet retreat on a hot day; we stayed for about an hour and a half (including the time spent walking the wall above the museum).

Great little museum in the wall of Campeche. Free but give a donation. Great place to spend up to 45 minutes on a hot day.

Very interesting to visit with a lot of history. There is no fee to go. Some of the information is also in English.

Start your visit here it's free and tells you about the history of pirates in Campeche.

From someone who comes from Quebec and has lived in Quebec City within the walls of the old city, it is great to see a similar set up in Campeche. Most of the walls have been kept and this section of San Carlos offers a nice view on Campeche from the walls. Not super well maintained but it was free, so hard to complain! It is worth a stop and while the museum is small we learned a lot about Campeche's history.

A free museum which exhibits a history of the city of Campeche! It shows some of the main characters in the story of the town and the guide was very helpful. Not everything is in English but you can get an idea of what the place was like. The Spanish came in the 16th century with Francisco de Montejo, and later his son of the same name. There is a little bit of information about the pirates who plagued the town and the reason for the defensive walls. You can also get up on top of the bastion and enjoy views across the town and the sea.

There is a great little museum here with some signs in English for tourists about the history of the city and fortifications. It wasn’t quite the pirate war everyone imagines!

Small but interesting free museum

Beautiful cathedral...this centuries old boatmakers church displays a black Jesus...the church dates back to the early years of the settlement...1600s from what a guide said to us A quiet place within a busy waterfront town...if it could only speak...

The tram car thingy stopped here.

In this church lives a good and beautiful legend and the most beautiful tradition of Campeche 🥰💕✨

Beautiful church with the Cristo Negro inside.

Interesting story of the religious image

Interesting black, sculpted in ebony, Jesuscrist.

Lovely but needs government attention

Walked from Centro, quite a hike but definitely worth it. Quick tip if you walk, once you reached just before where the road is signed to branch off up the hill to the left you will see another road on the left with steps going up. This is the quickest way up. Once there you will find a small but well curated museum of Mayan history and culture and then magnificent views across the sea from the fort roof.

Very nice museum with a lot to see and understand about the history. It's in the Fierro San Miguel first walk around and enjoy the views and go in every single little exhibition room. I was surprised by the collection they've. Parking is infront of the main door, washrooms available, disabled access is available.

Enjoyed this fort and museum better than fort San Jose...artifacts are displayed well...loved the piece they had of jade... Plus the canons are displayed nicely.

Very good museum about the Maya culture. The exposition is has very expliciet subjects. The text was also in English with short an good explanations. We have visited many Maya expositions and this one binded all our knowledge together. And also the collection is beautiful.

Nice museum and really neat fort with canons and an amazing view of the Gulf of Mexico and city. Worth checking out.

Great experience! If you’re in the area definitely go!

MX$75 admission gets you into a well-maintained old Spanish fort. Lots of old cannons and some views on the top level; a small but very good Mayan archaeology museum occupies the main floor rooms (with many English signs).

Very good exhibition of many Mayan artifacts, from jade masks to stele to painted pottery. Beautifully presented, with most of the explanatory signed translated into English. Perhaps the best collection of Mayan works that I have encountered.

This was absolutely amazing! We stayed in Campeche over the weekend. There is so much to see that we couldn't see it in 2 days. The history of the Fort, the views from inside the fort walls are breath taking!

Very well preserved piece of history. Building is in great shape. Lots of cannons from above. The grounds are free to explore without paying a fee, which can be just as fun if you’re not looking to see the Mayan exhibits inside. Lots of great Mayan art and history in exhibitions. Not a lot of history on the actual building or the people who made it, which I was hoping there would be. Beautiful views of the Gulf from the top. You can do this in about an hour.

Narrow beach and the water was dirty. Did not swim. We had a drink at Kanan so we could get some shade. Cute place with friendly staff.

Unfortunately the water was turbid when I visited. Also the beach was full of seaweed and clear water seen on some other photos wasn't something that could be enjoyed. The day was pleasant though and this beach can be an option if you want to be close to the town. Not too crowded on the weekday. Keep in mind that you have to leave the beach the latest at 5 pm and the entrance fee for foreigners is 100 pesos pp. A hit with shade is for free if you get something from a restaurant (small beer for 45 or caguamas for 85 pesos)

If you’re going to visit this beach start by lowering your expectations. And then lower them even more. If you have super low expectations, maybe you won’t be disappointed. The water is super shallow and full of seaweed. The beach is pretty. They do keep it clean. But it’s not really a beach you want to swim at. They illegally charge you to access the beach. $100 per person, but they also provide you with decent bathrooms and showers. Definitely one of the worst beach experiences we had in the Yucatán, but again we had low expectations so we weren’t too disappointed. An hour there was more than enough.

Beautiful beach. It costs 40 pesos to enter then you can rent a chair or sun lounger for 10-20 pesos depending on what you have. I went on a Monday and it was busy. But i went a week later on a Tuesday and it was quiet. The staff from the restaurant are nice enough they asked if i needed anything. But was happy with my water. Had a couple of beers after my swim. 40 pasos a can. I would recommend the sunsets are stunning.

Mixed feelings with this beach. The pro's: the wooden cabins look pretty sweet, provide fair bit of shade and the breeze alone brings plenty of cooling. The staff was friendly and prices in bars where fair. Showers everywhere to cool you off. Con'$ : entrance is a bit high for 100 pesos per person. You need to pay additional for a chair and stuff. For that amount, just include that. The beach itself is not so good. It was so shallow, it's impossible to swim. Therefore the water is so warm (plus 30 degrees) it gives little cooling. The surface is cover with tons of grass. Tough it's nature, it's not comfy to get in and out at all. If you go, I suggest to bring water shoes for sure.

Pleasantly surprising much better than I was lead to believe. Beach is cared for seaweed removed, clean and tidy well with the 100peso plus to enter. This beach is far superior to the county club and your putting pesos in the locals pockets rather than some corp.

40 pesos entry and you get a hut with shade included. You can hire a sun bed for 20 pesos or a chair for 10 pesos. Hardly anyone there, so peaceful and beautiful. The sand is white and the water is so still and blue. Saw lots of fish in the water and pelicans feeding which was so cool. No one hassled us, no one tried to sell us anything other than letting us know the restaurant was open for food and drinks. Bus back into town is 7 pesos and picks you up by the roundabout. It’s not the best beach in the world but would deffo recommend!
