Day Trip to Mucuyché Hacienda

Come with us on this day trip to the Mucuyché Hacienda to relive the splendour of Yucatán's Henequen Era. We'll have a guided tour of the estate and you'll even get to take a dip in its majestic cenotes.

Day Trip Details

At the designated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Merida and head towards the Mucuyché Hacienda in Abalá. This estate offers a glimpse into its rich history.

After a 1-hour journey, we'll begin a guided tour of the Mucuyché Hacienda, meaning 'tree of the dove' in the indigenous language.

The tour covers the estate's 17th-century history and its significance in the Henequen industry, previously a major economic force in Yucatán. Following the industry's decline, the hacienda was largely abandoned but has been minimally restored to preserve its original state and beauty.

After the tour, you'll have 3 hours of free time to enjoy the cenotes on the estate. You can swim in the Carlota Cenote, which is semi-open and reaches a depth of 7 meters (23 feet). Additionally, you can explore the Azul Maya Cenote, and you can travel between cenotes by swimming or walking along a stone path.

Finally, we'll return to Merida and conclude the day at your hotel after this 6-hour trip.
