CENOTES

Cenote (from the maya dzonoot: "Hoyo con agua"). Unique formations in the world, places for the provision of fresh water in the Yucatan plain. For the Mayans, the cenotes were sacred places. There used to perform sacrifices and rituals that were part of their cosmology. The cenotes have been scenes of great importance for the Mayans since ancestral times, since they were considered portals or windows to the world of the dead for them called Xibalba. Do not miss the opportunity to refresh yourself and feel renewed in these sacred waters of the Yucatan!

HACIENDAS

Go back in time to the colonial era and breathe the atmosphere of economic prosperity that lived in the Yucatan. The boom of the haciendas is reflected throughout the southeast of the republic with high demand and production of the much sought after henequen plant (species of the genus of the agaves also known as "green gold"). The haciendas have been an important part of the history of the Yucatan and today they are converted into small paradises for the enjoyment and rest of its visitors. The henequen haciendas are a symbiosis between nature and the history of the Yucatan.
