  • Hacienda Yaxcopoil is a journey through time a place where the rich history of Yucatán unfolds amid elegant country-style buildings a magnificent colonial archway that instantly transports visitors to another era. Its name, meaning “Place of the Green Poplars” in the Mayan language, reflects the deep connection between nature, culture, and heritage that defines this remarkable estate. This iconic hacienda brings together three great chapters of Yucatán’s past: the ancient pre-Hispanic world, the colonial period, and the golden age of the henequen boom. From its early days as a vast cattle ranch to its transformation into one of the region’s most prestigious henequen estates, Yaxcopoil stood as a symbol of power, prosperity, and refinement. At its height, the hacienda spanned thousands of hectares and featured its own henequen processing facilities, along with a unique mule-drawn transportation system that can still be seen today.Scattered throughout the grounds, subtle Mayan ruins
