Campeche, Mexico
Campeche's UNESCO-listed historic center is a perfectly preserved example of a Spanish colonial port fortified against pirate attacks, and it remains one of Mexico's best-kept secrets. The hexagonal walled city is painted in vivid colors — each block a different hue — creating a photographer's dream of salmon pink, mustard yellow, sky blue, and mint green facades. The defensive walls and baluartes (bastions) that once repelled English and Dutch pirates now house museums and provide walkways with views over the city. The main plaza and cathedral are the heart of the center, with Calle 59 serving as the principal walking street past restaurants, shops, and colonial mansions. The Malecon waterfront promenade offers sunset walks along the Gulf of Mexico. Beyond the city, the ancient Maya city of Edzna features a stunning five-story pyramid, and the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve protects one of the largest Maya cities deep in the jungle.
