Feel like a true "campechano"!
There are several ways in which you can join the daily life of a campechano, from learning the Mayan slang to drink the local drinks. I invite you to take this Walking Tour, in which you'll do both while visiting the Historic Center of San Francisco de Campeche.
During that time, you will visit the colonial streets of this colonial city, but with a huge insight on the details and gossiping of neighbors, legends, the embarrassing details of the churches and temples, ex-prisons and other controversial places of this city with almost 500 years of existence.
You'll visit the boardwalk of the city, travel back in time as soon as you cross the Puerta de Mar, re-imagine the city that used to border the beach, visit the Cathedral of the city, learn about underground tunnels, old cinemas, religious Colonial art and the spooky tales of the Mayan region.
This is for the people with a love for stories!
Oh!... and bring your most comfortable sneakers!
