Sotuta de Peón

Sotuta de Peón is a henequen hacienda in Tecoh with several buildings including the Main House, Machine House, and Maya House surrounded by henequen fields. The property displays different areas where the fiber was once processed and stored.

The hacienda was built in the late 19th century during Mexico's henequen fiber boom. The preserved machinery and buildings show how the fiber was processed and goods were manufactured at that time.

The Maya House displays traditional building methods and reveals how people lived in this region. The restaurant serves Yucatán food that visitors experience during their stay.

The hacienda is located about 45 kilometers from Mérida and offers daily guided tours. On-site accommodations, a swimming pool, and dining facilities make it easy to spend several hours or overnight.

Visitors can ride on wooden platforms pulled by mules through the henequen fields, experiencing how the fields were worked in earlier times. There is also a chance to swim in the natural waters of cenote Dzul-há, an underground spring.
