Welcome to The Campeche Journal

Welcome to The Campeche Journal, your English-language window into one of Mexico’s most beautiful and underrated regions. 

My name is Victor, and I’m a Mexican-American living in the historic city of Campeche, right on the Gulf of Mexico. I started this blog to share the stories, sights, and everyday life of Campeche with readers around the world—especially travelers, expats, and anyone curious about this corner of the Yucatán Peninsula. 

Here’s what you can expect from The Campeche Journal: 

•  ✨ Culture and traditions that make Campeche special 
•  🌴 Travel guides and things to do (without tourist traps) 
•  🍤 Local food you’ll want to try (and where to find it) 
•  🚂 Updates on the Tren Maya and other travel tips 
•  🧭 Stories from locals and hidden gems off the usual path 

I’ll keep things light, informative, and always focused on the people, places, and moments that make Campeche unique (no politics, no drama). Just the everyday beauty and rhythm of life in this incredible city. 

I hope The Campeche Journal becomes a helpful guide and enjoyable read—whether you’re planning a visit, settling down here, or just daydreaming from afar. 

New posts will go up every week, so be sure to follow along, subscribe by email, follow the Facebook page, or just check back regularly. 

¡Bienvenidos a Campeche!
