Visiting Yucatán is delving into a blend of history and tradition that dates from pre-Hispanic times to the peak of the henequen and cattle ranching haciendas.

Of all the haciendas in the peninsula, although many are semi-destroyed by the relentless passage of time, many have managed to preserve a great part of their history and structure, becoming incredible spaces to explore or for various activities.

This time, we will journey into the past through the majesty of Cenotes Hacienda Mucuyché, which are standing and ready to receive visitors eager to revive the splendor of bygone times.

Hacienda Mucuyché was one of the most prosperous in Yucatán during the henequen boom. Built in the 17th century, its main activities included cattle ranching, agriculture, and henequen plantation. Throughout its productive life, new architectural and decorative styles were added to the expansions of the main house. Currently, guided tours are offered every hour from 9 am to 3 pm, where you can experience the history of this beautiful place and swim or walk in its two beautiful cenotes and the underground canal that connects them.

After the tour of the hacienda, you can enjoy all the facilities and services, such as the restaurant bar (offering à la carte Yucatecan cuisine) with its beautiful and enormous swimming pool. This is the ideal place to take unforgettable and Instagram-worthy photos.

Thus, visiting the haciendas of Yucatán gives visitors a perspective of the changes the region has undergone since the peak of the henequen era, through processes of political, social, and economic changes.

Nowadays, many haciendas have come back to life as tourist stops, museums, and venues for major events, striving to faithfully and simply showcase the spaces and furniture that were commonly used during their periods of splendor.

This coming vacation, delve into discovering the beauty of the past and enjoy a destination filled with tradition, culture, nature, and extraordinary cuisine.
