Immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of Campeche with our “Edzná, Hochob and Meliponario: Divine Architecture, Living Culture” tour. Starting with a pick-up from your hotel lobby at 8:00 am, this tour takes you on an unforgettable journey through ancient ruins and vibrant living traditions.
First, visit the archaeological site of Edzná, renowned for its sophisticated design inspired by the stars and its impressive structures like the Platform of Knives, Nohochná, the Temple of the Masks with its striking solar deity faces, the Great Acropolis, and the unique Five-Story Temple.
Next, travel to Hochob, one of Campeche's most beautiful yet lesser-known archaeological sites, a remarkable example of Chenes-style architecture nestled in a lush, vegetated hill.
Then, visit the melipona bee honey workshop in a small Mayan village. Here, you'll meet the Koolel Kab group, a collective of Mayan women dedicated to preserving the native melipona bee, an essential pollinator of the Mayan jungles. Learn about their award-winning efforts to protect this stingless bee and their production of natural products like creams and soaps.
Enjoy lunch in the picturesque town of Hopelchén before returning to Campeche with a deeper appreciation for both the ancient and living cultures of the region.
