The state of Campeche was one of the most important sites of the ancient Mayan culture and today, enjoys numerous archaeological ruins in a perfect state of preservation. Some of these sites have been declared World Heritage; such as the the archaeological ruins of Calakmul and the historic Fortified City of Campeche, capital of the state; both of which are a must on any visitor's itinerary. Its colourful vibrancy, its beauty, the air of history in its commerce, which is reminiscent of its defence against pirates, of its culinary traditions...all of these added to the authenticity of Campeche City, a city which has conscientiously preserved its history and its legacy. At the celebration of the second anniversary of the beginning of the Grupo Mall operations in this State, Gonzalez Curi added that they are in talks with Continental Airlines to establish routes abroad, in particular with the United States. hosteltur.com

Fortified cities, magnificent bastions, colonial historic quarters, majestic haciendas... all of these represent a perfect meld of pre-Hispanic culture and the architecture and traditions brought by conquerors, which create a modern and singular Campeche. Grupo Mall, a distinguished Spanish company with a long pedigree is constructing the largest residential tourist complex in Mexico, located in the Municipality of Champotón, State of Campeche. The Corner Stone of this complex was laid on the 17th of February of 2006 by Vicente Fox Quesada, President of Mexico, whom along with Jorge Carlos Hurtado Valdez, Governor of the State of Campeche, and Julio Fernando Noval, Principal of Grupo Mall, witnessed the beginning of a new and unique tourist destination in Mexico.
