Overview of the tour in Merida

You will visit a hacienda located in the countryside around Merida, you will tour the main house where the hacienda owners lived luxuriously and enjoyed the latest comforts of the time such as electricity or running water and were built with the latest trends in fashionable architecture such as neoclassical or Frenchified, they had chapels or churches, gardens and around the main house they built the houses of the workers.

You will also see the so-called machine room where they processed the henequen fiber for export to Europe and the USA. They also had their own network of railroad tracks to transport the production or the hacienda owners. It is a great opportunity to go back in time and see a little known aspect of the history of Yucatan and Mexico. Without a doubt it is a very complete and enjoyable cultural and historical experience.
