Ranked #15,045 in Travel & Places, #358,759 overall

Campeche is bordered by the Gulf of Mexico to the north and Guatemala to the south. Its colonial capital city-also called Campeche-is an old commercial port that was once the target of pirates

Today, the walled city boasts remnants of the forts, gates and bulwarks that once protected the inhabitants, along with a beautifully restored historic city center that's been named a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The region also offers tours of 17th-century haciendas, where today you can enjoy regional delicacies like venison, seafood and armadillo, and Calakmul in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve-one of the largest Mayan sites ever uncovered.
