It was registered in 1655 as a cattle ranch, its owner was Diego de Mendoza, a descendant of the Montejo family, conqueror of Yucatán.

In the second half of the 19th century it was transformed into a henequen hacienda, a time when it experienced its greatest prosperity.

It has a special charm, it recovered its atmosphere and the lifestyle of the late nineteenth century. It has 28 suites that respect the style and reinforce the atmosphere created by its initial builders. Nature is present in the entire environment of the hacienda: flora, fauna, cenotes and caves. It also has a spa with authentic Mayan sobadoras and a unique setting.

As in the other cases, the Foundation collaborates with the community, supporting different workshops that have rescued traditional techniques. Also here there are organized women who with great dignity make objects made with henequen fiber, and they surprise and marvel at the delicate work of the tiny chairs, beds, combs and more, made with bull's horn, and confirm the skill with which they embroider by hand or machine.

At night, sitting on one of the fabulous terraces of Temozón for a drink can bring the pleasant surprise of finding traditional Yucatecan dance groups made up of children and their parents, last but not least, there is the magnificent pool that complete the special atmosphere that is breathed in this place.

How to get there: The hacienda is located in the heart of the Puuc route, just 37 km from Mérida.
