Located on the
Western Yucatan, looking toward the Gulf of Mexico sits the town of
Campeche. Currently a virtually unknown destination to the world of
global tourism, this region features more that 80 miles of mangrove
coast, hun
dreds of creeks, and numerous channels, making the region
Mexico’s most prolific baby tarpon fishery. Campeche gets as many
tourist in one year as Cancun gets in a day. With flats style sight
fishing for high numbers of fiesty tarpon in the 5 to 30 pound class
and a wonderfully quaint town with Mayan and Spanish history, Campeche
is now the ultimate venue for avid saltwater anglers.
The town of Campeche has a population of 360,000 and because of its rich Mayan culture and Spanish conquest it has been labeled a UNESCO world heritage site. Three blocks in from the bay the 17th century colonial city was constructed, now downtown, behind stone walls built to protect it from attack and it was been well preserved.
