The Hacienda Uxmal Plantation and Museum has its fleet of classic Land Rover Defender, similar to those used in the Hacienda Uxmal more than half a century ago for adventure expeditions into jungle paths of the Puuc zone.
We will start our journey through a red clay landscape route that will direct us through the plantation to climb the Hacienda's platform and experience a wonderful sunrise with outstanding views of the pre-Hispanic city of Uxmal. From there, we will be able to admire the Temple of the Soothsayer and the Governor's Palace.
As the sun gradually emerges on the horizon, the event will be accompanied by an atmosphere of relaxation, fragrances of tropical woods, and breathing pure morning air, and surrounded by the same sceneries that ancient Maya of Uxmal saw with spirituality in these lands identified as Mayab. Additionally, we will serve you an aromatic coffee to complement the magic of the moment.
Afterward, we will head to Hacienda Uxmal and cross its entrance, through a majestic arch next to a large Ceiba: the sacred tree for the Maya, that will welcome us. We will appreciate the remains of ancient walls, old chimneys, and the Hacienda's well still operating. All those vestiges testified the development of this building that hosted many explorers, adventurers, dignitaries and writers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
We will continue our tour, observing how the current farmers of the Hacienda work in the lands and will invite you to harvest seasonal fruits. You can take your fruit home or let the Chef of the Hotel Hacienda Uxmal Plantation & Museum, to set up a fruit degustation for you.
At the end of our tour, we will invite you to take a walk in the corridors of the hotel, where you can visit the Gallery of Explorers who visited Uxmal and were guests of Hacienda Uxmal.
