Hacienda San Eduardo

The henequen plant, also known as sisal, has played a significant role in the history of the Yucatan Peninsula. Cultivated since ancient times by the Maya civilization, henequen became a major industry in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Its strong fibers were used for rope and twine, bringing wealth to the region through large-scale plantations called haciendas. However, the industry faced challenges over time, and today henequen production continues on a smaller scale, leaving behind a rich cultural and architectural heritage in the Yucatan.
