A site not to be missed - An exceptional site that is worth the detour. Very little frequented compared to Chichen. This site has a beautiful history and many parts of it are visible. With a guide it's really better.

Good tour but best taken in winter months - The tour was very interesting, the most friendly Guide and with excellent knowledge about the area. Unfortunately already started the tour informed us that we could not visit the Uayamón hacienda due to recent restrictions. We went to another hacienda and in compensation we raised the bonus for food in Champotón. The heat is intense in May to make this tour and if you are interested in knowing Uayamón you should manage directly with the administrators of the hacienfa. But I do recommend the tour, it is a good option to know other attractions of the state of Campeche
