Itinerary
Edzná is a Mayan archaeological site, located in the Mexican state of Campeche, in the Edzná Valley. Due to the type of soil, the valley in which it is located floods in the rainy season and maintains high humidity almost all year round. To remedy this inconvenience, the Mayas developed a network of canals that drained the valley and the water was conducted towards a lagoon, which was transformed into a dam, by means of retaining walls, while other canals served to irrigate the fields. This propitiated a degree of humidity in the land, for intensive cultivation, while the canals provided fishing. Edzná has religious and residential buildings distributed in an area of approximately 25 square kilometers. Its architecture is influenced by the Puuc, Petén and Chenes styles.
Visiting Campeche for the first time and looking for a place to stay, I was able to experience a piece of Mexican history in one of the most famous haciendas on the Peninsula. The Uayamón Hacienda, once a reference in the era of green gold. Today, a luxury boutique hotel.

About Campeche
Campeche is a walled colonial port on the Gulf of Mexico, with pastel houses, old fortifications built against pirates and Maya ruins inland.
Campeche stands on the Gulf of Mexico on the western side of the Yucatán Peninsula, and its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spanish builders surrounded the city with walls and bastions in the seventeenth century after pirate raids, and sections of the wall, a land gate and several bulwarks survive. Streets of pastel-coloured houses lead to the cathedral on the main plaza.
