It covers an area of 57,507 km2, occupying 2.9% of the national territory. Its capital is the city of San Francisco de Campeche Campeche is a word of Mayan origin, which derives from the roots "can" (snake) and "pech" (tick), meaning "place of snakes and ticks". The name is because in this Mayan village there was a statue of a snake with a tick on its head and at whose feet human sacrifices were made. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in Can Pech they gave the pronunciation and called it Campeche.
