Hacienda Yaxcopoil - 97396 Yaxcopoil

Really worth it if you are doing the ride from Merida to Uxmal. It's not in great condition but it seems that they are currently investing to renovate it. This place has a lot of potential as a touristic attraction.

Very nice museum type place to visit to learn about the industry of making textiles and rope. The buildings, gardens, and equipment were very well kept. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent place, an amazing Hacienda. Workers made a great tour.

My guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and completely enjoyed the tour. Would highly recommend

This property and museum is beautiful. The staff are friendly and our guide was knowledgeable and caring to answer our questions. We had rented the guest room for the night and I cannot recommend this experience enough. Dinner was good (lime soup was so very good which didn't originally sound appetizing on such a hot day) and breakfast was delicious (a chaya tortillita dish and fruit). The guest house was very clean and decorated to match the property - the hammocks were wonderful. The property and museum itself is amazing, so beautiful and its great to see so much history kept. Thank you for sharing the space. This was such a great highlight to our trip. We loved it.

Interesting place! Entrance increased to 150 peso per person - the info sheet acts as entrance ticket

The small admission price of 125 pesos is well worth it to get a sense of the grandeur of the hacienda, the workings of the henequen (sisal) factory and just to walk the beautiful grounds. In its heyday the grounds encompassed 22,000 acres and today at only 1/3rd. that size they still seem expansive. We appreciated that information signs and a pamphlet were in both Spanish and English. The beautiful old hand-painted tile floor with each room different, gleam like new. The walls which soar to high ceilings are covered in stencil work, each room unique. We generally are not shoppers but purchased 3 items at the gift shop. Water and Coke are available for purchase the have while relaxing in wrought iron furniture on one of the decks. An elderly Spanish speaking gentleman for a small donation explains the workings of the sisal factory. His non-verbal language is pretty good too so we could get the gist of it.

Arrived at beautiful Hacienda Yaxcopoil with moderate drizzle, strong winds and no one else in sight. This intensified the already beautifully eerie, mystical feel of the abandoned site. Located in the Umán Municipality, Yucatan, Mexico. The name Yaxcopoil means "the place of the green alamo trees." It was once considered one of the most important rural estates in the Yucatan due to its size and magnificence, at one time covering 22,000 acres of land. Definitely try to fit this into your travel timeline! You will not be dissapointed.
