Museo Becal

Reviewed By lucitatecapacito - Mexico City, Mexico

History, culture, ecology, art, human rights, all this promotes the museum that is a little hidden in its location, the guides especially Jorge and Alez are super attentive, answer any questions and try, this formidable, is clean and sure the very large parking lot, to be in such a small town is a great museum

Mono Rojo Museo/taller

Local museun/gallery has been designed and built over the last 6 years by artist Guillermo Mazzoco. The museum has is own works of art, mostly sculpture, the works of his collective and a very special collection of Mayan artifacts. Mayan culture and history are infused throughout and the Becan ruins are located 500 meters away. This is a unique and authentic experience not to be missed.

A hidden treasure that is more than just a museum. I’ve been to Mono Rojo (Becan, Campeche) three times now, and every time I leave, I immediately want to return. Its location right off busy Highway 186 belies a rustic, tranquil interior filled with art, interesting Mayan artifacts, dogs, and good vibes. Best of all, the spectacular ruins are just a short walk away! Mono Rojo continually evolves at the loving hands of its artist-owner, Memo Mazzoco, and his partner Monica Kumar. It’s easy to find and only about 90 minutes west of Bacalar. Do yourself a favor, get off the beaten tourist path and spend a day at Mono Rojo - you won’t regret it!

El Palacio Centro Cultural

Reviewed By Lauriee274 - St. Catharines, Canada

Nice surprise. Enjoyed this 30 minute show. Bright and colourful. Also enjoyed the evening show at the Land Gate. Starts at 7:30pm outside the Land Gate and then you follow a guide up onto the wall. The guide tells a very interesting story about the history of Campeche - pirates, Conquestadores, etc. However, it is only conducted in Spanish. You are welcome to join in if you don't speak Spanish. Great to be up on the walls at night when they are lite. Great views down onto the old town.

Land Gate (Puerta de Tierra)

Reviewed By spidrman

Every night we were in Campeche, there was activity. A Pirate show, fireworks, music. And the lights on the wall at night is pretty cool too. There are tours you can take to get history about the Wall and Campeche. Two thumbs up.
