Arts & Culture
This working hacienda will give you a glimpse into life in the Yucatan at the turn of the century when there was a concentration of millionaires here due to the henequen production. After learning the process of making ropes and how henequen is processed you can take a refreshing dip in the cenote and enjoy a Pina Colada. Enjoy Yucatan food in the open air restaurant before heading back into the city. This is about an hours drive south but so worth it.
