'''Campeche''' is a state on the Yucatán peninsula in the southeast of [[Mexico]]. Its capital is also called [[Campeche (City)|Campeche]]. The state of Campeche shares borders with the states of [[Yucatán]] to the northeast, [[Quintana Roo]] to the east, [[Tabasco]] to the south, and with the countries of [[Belize]] to the east and [[Guatemala]] to the south. However, there seem to be no official border crossing points to these countries from Campeche.
While Campeche has many important historic, archaeological, and natural sites, it is much less frequented by foreign tourists than Yucatán and Quintana Roo. One of the most impressive Maya sites is located in [[Edzná]].
