About Candelaria
Candelaria is a river town in the southwest of Campeche, set in the basin of the Candelaria river, which winds right past it. It is the only urban center in a municipality of small rural communities, so it serves as the local hub for markets, services, and transport, and since 2024 it has had its own Tren Maya station. Each year the town celebrates its patron, the Virgen de la Candelaria, with religious events, a fair, and cultural activities.
