Ciudad del Carmen in Mexico’s Campeche Province is nicknamed, “The Pearl Of the Gulf”. It began as a small fishing village and expanded when oil was discovered in the area. It remains one of the best places to find fresh seafood in Mexico. Originally this was a trading point between the Maya and Aztec cultures, and was also a haven for pirates. There are many places to see including the ecotourism area around Terminos Lagoon and nearby mangrove swamps which are a haven for crocodiles and birds. The white sandy beaches in the area are perfect for water sports.
Close to the border with Tabasco is the ancient site of Xicalango which was a Mayan trading centre. At Playa Norte a small zoo will keep children entertained. Ciudad Del Carmen has a lot to offer from a relaxing beach holiday to historical culture. Ensure your reservation by booking a hotel through EasyToBook.com, perhaps from our budget hotel range.
