Yucatán Camino Real Handicraft Tour

From your hotel in San Francisco de Campeche, we'll pick you up at 8 am and head north along part of the Camino Real. This trail, established by the Spaniards in the 16th century, linked several cities of the Yucatan peninsula.

The main route of the Camino Real connected Campeche with Merida. We'll follow part of this route to Becal, where we'll explore its handicraft traditions, including the weaving of jipijapa hats in caves, a technique passed down for generations.

Next, we'll stop at restaurant La Palapa in Calkiní for a delicious lunch, with a choice of chicken or pork.

In Hecelchakán, a small town, we'll continue discovering typical Yucatecan handicrafts. Its hats, shawls and other textiles are handmade using techniques from the Mayan era.

Our final stop will be in Pomuch, where we'll visit a traditional bakery to observe a master baker making bread in a wood-fired oven. You'll have the chance to taste the bread.

We'll return to your hotel in Campeche, arriving at 3 pm.
