At the Aké Ruins and Hacienda, located in the Yucatán near Mérida, Mesoamerican and Spanish histories intersect. The site features the remains of an ancient Maya sacbe, a raised road, along with a central pyramidal palace and two concentric border walls. Visitors can also explore a 19th-century henequen hacienda and the Aké chapel, which is uniquely situated atop a Maya pyramid. This blend of archaeological and cultural elements offers a rich, layered experience of the region’s past.
