Hacienda Yaxcopoil

Once one of the Yucatán’s most prominent estates, Hacienda Yaxcopoil stands as a remarkably preserved testament to the region’s colonial history. Originally built in the 17th century, the hacienda sprawled over a vast 22,000-acre agave plantation. Today, it is preserved as a museum, offering visitors an in-depth look into the Yucatán’s pre-Colombian, Spanish colonial, and henequen boom eras. The well-maintained structures and exhibits provide a tangible connection to the past, allowing guests to explore the layers of history that shaped this part of Mexico.
