Tour description

Héctor Palí and Ricardo Pinzón are "El Hectourcito" (-ito means small in Spanish... short but very pretty!) and we offer you this Free Walking Tour about the history of this fortified city, San Francisco de Campeche: Mayan civilizations, pirates, gossiping neighbors from colonial times, ancient churches and legends of ghosts and witchcraft.

You will hear gossip at the following stops:
▶️ Sea Gate
▶️ Main Square
▶️ Cathedral
▶️ Sweet Name of Jesus Church
▶️ 59th Street
▶️ Earth Gate


We are tourist guides certified by the Ministry of Tourism, history lovers and two kids excited to "gossip" about our city.

I hope you take the opportunity with us, it is not only about knowing the history of Campeche, but also its people and enjoying making new friends in the southeast of Campeche c:

Even if the capacity is full, you can attend :)

Tag me and find more of our services at @ElHectourcito FB/IG

Have a beautiful day! xx

Hector was a fantastic guide! The best we’ve ever had on a walking tour - he was passionate, funny and knowledgeable. He knew lots about the local area and was able to tell and show us things we’d never found ourselves. He was super friendly and easy to chat to. Highly recommended!!
