Tour to Yaxcopoil Hacienda and Uxmal with lunch

The tour departs at 08:00. It will take half an hour to arrive to Yaxcopoil and another half hour to Uxmal. Yaxcopoil is a former sisal fiber factory. The importance of this fiber was enormous to the Yucatán between the end of the XIX century and first half of the XX, due to exploitation of it, Yucatán became one of wealthiest states in México and Latin América. The few owners of the many factories that processed the fiber were known as the “divine caste” because of their richness. After the 1950’s working the sisal was not good enough and many of the factories were abandoned. Yaxcopoil is one of the most beautiful factories of all and is a great example of this important period in the Yucatán history. After visiting Yaxcopoil the tour continues to Uxmal. Lunch after the visit to the archaeological site. Expected length of the tour: eight hours.
