Nestled on the Yucatan Peninsula, just 45 minutes from the city of Merida, surrounded by henequen fields and lush vegetation, lies Sotuta de Peón Hacienda Viva.

 

Built in the mid-19th century, it began operating in 1858 and after 100 years of prosperity, resulting from its original henequen vocation, it was abandoned for three long decades, to then be rescued from the ravages of time and become a loving restoration project that, through years of unwavering dedication, perseverance and passion for detail, gave life to the current Sotuta de Peón Hacienda Viva, completely restored, functioning as it did in its heyday and rescuing the traditions of the henequen boom era.

 

Hacienda Sotuta de Peón offers you a wide range of cultural, historical, tourist, gastronomic and lodging experiences in natural landscapes that will remain engraved in your minds and hearts for a long time.

 

Due to its privileged geographic location, it is the ideal place to explore other places in Yucatan: majestic archaeological sites, cenotes, convents, churches, beaches, magical towns. Likewise, it is perfect for visitors who live in metropolises and seek to completely disconnect from the chaos of the city and fully surrender to the good life, within a beautiful natural environment, with wide and safe spaces.

DEAR VISITORS:

Due to limited spaces for our tours and restaurant service, as well as high demand during this holiday season, we suggest you check availability prior to your visit.

When walking through Sotuta de Peón, our visitors literally travel back in time, transported on wooden platforms called "Truks" which are pulled by "mules" on Decauville rails, just as they were originally used by the workers.

 

On our henequen tours, you will be able to witness every step of the transformation process of Henequen (also called “Green Gold” in this region), from the plant to the fiber, and from the fiber to the finished product. You will also have the opportunity to see ancient machinery that has been rescued from the ravages of time and rebuilt to its precise operating capacity. Your tour will also include a visit to a typical Mayan House.

And add to this the unparalleled geological formations of our secret attractions, the cenotes, beautiful rivers of crystal-clear, alkaline waters, highly coveted. Take a moment to take a refreshing dip at the end of your walk, where you can safely swim in the refreshing waters of the Cenote. Or, if you prefer, we have a huge swimming pool, surrounded by lush tropical flower gardens and spectacularly green native trees and plants.
