I one of the things you shouldn´t miss. Very interesting if you like a process from the centuries XIX and XX and you shouldn’t miss the Chat with Don Antonio who worked there when they really process Henequen. The Cenote is really nice (don´t forget the swimming suit), and the food is very good. More

Our English-speaking guide covered the Green Gold Era of Yucatan completely. The grounds and hacienda have been exquisitely restored. There are a variety of experiences on this 3-hour tour, which passes all too quickly. From seeing the restored house, to watching the rope-making process, then a mule-driven ride through the fields, then a cenote swim - and finally a delicious... More

Even though this is a bit of a touristy place, it was an excellent day and well worth the trip. We were picked up at the Hotel Casa San Angel for 700 pesos and whisked to the Hacienda where we were warmly greeted. The tour begins in the Main house and moves outside to the process of making hennequin rope..it... More

Excellent tour. English perfect. Polite and informative. Cenote supercool. Ride to cenote beautiful. Elder Mayan man- wanted to take him home Those who said too expensive- yes, for Mexico it is expensive but I look at it as if we helped preserve a bit of history. My 80 yr old parents and my 8 year old daughter equally loved it... More
