Small town Paradise

My wife and I went on a trip through Yucatan in search for a small retirement home. After searching and viewing a few fixer uppers homes we stumble upon an old colonial home in the small town of Ruinas De Ake. Ruins are incredible and...More

Different type of ruin

There are huge flat stones in this ruin, some used as overhangs and some collapsed! Can't imagine how the maya positioned them without equipment. Not very many temples here but a nice sidetrip in this village. There was a goat farmer rounding up his bleating...More

Ake

If you drive west on Rt 180 it's very easy to miss the turn onto the road to Ake as there's no clear sign there. If you do miss it, there's a turn-around (returno) some 500 m ahead and when you make a u-turn onto...More

A hacienda was constructed on the Mayan site - which was not open to the public. The Mayan site is called Ake (place of the reeds) and was settled in the late Preclassic period, and was connected (by road) to the sites at Izamal (20...More

A hidden gem

This will never approach the majesty of Chichen Itza or Uxmal, but if you are looking for a trip to take while staying in Merida or nearby towns, I HIGHLY recommend this spot. Please realize that these will never rival the better known ruins, so...More

Ruins and a Rope Mill

Didn't get into the hacienda, but we did go see the Ake ruins. These aren't particularly grand or large, not anywhere close to Uxmal or Chichen Itza. But you are likely to have the place to yourself, and you can climb the steps of a...More
