Visiting the henequen-producing haciendas of Yucatan is an incredible experience. These plantations, once the bread and butter of the economy, are now the guardians of that auspicious life-style. The contrasting scenery and comfortable architecture make visitors feel right at home.

09:00 am Departure from your lobby in direction of the ecological reserve of Cuxtal, where the Hacienda Sotuta de Peon is located, at about 25 km south of Merida.

10:30 am The visit through the hacienda starts with one of the most important attractions: The machine house, where the henequen shredding were used to render fibers (Sisal) from the henequen plant. Then we continue the sightseeing to the sisal factory, where the plant is converted into distinct strands of what will become twine, rope or burlap bags.

11:30 am We board a wagon (truck) that is pulled by mules on narrow tracks through the henequen plantation to a mayan hut, where you observe how the mayan people used to live. Continuation to the cenote (well) Zhul-ha with safe installations, stairway, wood handle, beautifully illuminated. Here you can swim in the clear, refreshing waters. Towels, goggles and safety jackets are provided.
