The State of Campeche is a state in the south-east
region of the Mexican Republic. It is bordered by the
Mexican states of Yucatán to the north east,
Quintana Roo to the east, and Tabasco to the south west.
To the south it is bordered by the Petén department
of Guatemala and to the west by the Gulf of Mexico.
The area of Campeche is 56,798 square kilometers (21,929.8
sq mi), and the population was only 754,730 inhabitants
at the 2005 census. This makes Campeche one of the states
with the lowest population densities in Mexico (fifth
behind Baja California Sur, Durango, Sonora, and Chihuahua).
The capital city of the state is the city of San Francisco
de Campeche, which was declared a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO.
In addition to the city of Campeche, the state of Campeche
includes the cities of Champotón, Ciudad del
Carmen, and Escárcega, the towns of Bolonchén,
Calkiní, Dzitbalché, Hecelchakán,
Hopelchén, Lerma, Tenabo, and Sabancuy, and many
ruins of the Maya civilization such as Becán,
Calakmul, Silvituc, Dzibilnocac, Edzná, Hocchob,
Holactún, Rio Bec, Uxul, Xicalango, Xpujil, and
Xtampak.
Campeche derives from the name of the Mayan city of
Kan pech, which became today's San Francisco de Campeche. MORE ABOUT CAMPECHE MEXICO
