Aké Ruins and Hacienda

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.
