Haciendas
InformationOriginally from the time of the “green gold” (around the end of 1800), haciendas were born and made a living from the henequén bonanza. By mid 1940, when synthetic fibers were created, the henequén industry plummeted and with it, the splendor of haciendas. In the last decade of the XX century, the haciendas of Yucatan recovered economic growth and splendor, this time as spots of perfect harmony for relaxation, reflection, and meditation; but mostly to offer unique experiences to the visitors of Yucatan.
In other times, machinery houses, today restaurants serving contemporary Yucatan cuisine; before, stables and farmyards, now, pools and spas; stately ranches of old, today real estate of peculiar charm from Yucatan to the world.
