This is not a hotel stay; it is a hosted group retreat designed for travelers who want to experience rural Yucatán beyond resorts and tour buses.
This is a rural experience — authentic, not luxury. The hacienda operates at the rhythm of the countryside.
This stay is designed for travelers seeking authenticity, nature, and meaningful cultural connection in an intimate setting.
All meals are included and centered around traditional Mayan cuisine. Guests are welcome to observe, learn, and participate in preparation if they wish.
The cacao served during the evening gathering is toasted and ground on site, sweetened with our own honey from nearby apiaries.
The cenote is located within the property. Life vests are provided, and access is supervised. March through early summer offers the best climate for swimming.
Evening include a bonfire under the stars. In case of rain, dinner is held in a candlelit indoor setting with cacao and coffee.

• 1 night accommodation
• Access to a private semi-enclosed cenote within the hacienda grounds
• Full traditional cuisine prepared in collaboration with members of the local Mayan community
• Guided visit to one archaeological site (entry fees included)
