Glamping in Yucatán: nature and glamour

Glamping: a luxurious way to camp that is already a trend in Yucatán. Hameki is the perfect place to experience this style of lodging.

Glamping in Yucatán, in just one place: Hameki — a spot on the peninsula that merges glamour and camping.

Glamping is a way to experience the world’s most impressive places with top-class comforts. In a 5-star hotel? No — in a luxury tent!

The origin of glamping goes back further than you might imagine: to the year 1100. Around then, Mongol tribes lived in tents called yurts or gers, which provided a semi-permanent, stable home as they moved from place to place.

Later, around 1900, aimed at the wealthy classes, glamping began to appear at the exclusive safari camps held in Africa.

Since then, these tents have evolved to offer different comforts — beds, desks, cooling and heating equipment.

In recent years, the practice has reached Mexico. The country’s vast, varied geography is a big draw.

There are fabulous landscapes great for camping, so many tourist destinations have added glampsite options to their lodging lists. Examples can be found in Tepoztlán, Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California and Tulum.

Glamping in Yucatán is a recent but successful practice. Little by little, people are learning what glamping is and where to do it.
