A magical town located on a plateau at the foot of the Sierra de la Laguna, a paradise overlooking the Pacific Ocean amidst an oasis of crops, palm groves, and the sugarcane fields of the Pilar Valley. The fertility of its soil and the abundant water from the springs of the Sierra de la Laguna led Todos Santos to a boom in agriculture, especially sugarcane cultivation, at the end of the last century.
Este lugar tiene una gran relevancia histórica, tanto por el desarrollo de la civilización maya, como el paso de Hernán Cortés en su expedición a Honduras. \"En esta zona se encontraba la gran provincia de Acalán, un próspero centro comercial del mundo maya, cuya capital, Itzamkanac, conocemos hoy como la zona Arqueológica de El Tigre. Candelaria se localiza en la parte sureste del Estado de Campeche.
