Day Trip Overview

At the scheduled pickup time, we will meet at your hotel in Merida and set off towards the Mucuyché Hacienda in Abalá. Together, we'll delve into the rich history and charm of this remarkable estate!

Following a scenic one-hour drive, you'll embark on a self-guided journey through the Mucuyché Hacienda, a name derived from the indigenous term meaning 'tree of the dove'.

During your visit, we'll share engaging tales of the estate's 17th-century origins and its significant contribution to the Henequen industry, which was once a driving force in Yucatán's economy. Although the hacienda faced years of closure after the industry's downturn, it has been lovingly restored to maintain much of its original character, allowing us to admire its genuine beauty. You'll be captivated by intricate architectural details!

After exploring the hacienda, you'll have three hours to revel in the breathtaking cenotes scattered throughout the estate. Take a dip in the Carlota Cenote, a semi-open lagoon with a remarkable depth reaching 7 meters (23 feet). Named in honor of Empress Carlota, who visited the Yucatán Peninsula in 1865, this cenote offers you a chance to swim like royalty in its clear waters!
