Grutas de Calcehtok

Yesterday we took the tourist path less traveled, which lead us about an hour outside of Merida, to the Grutas de Calcehtok (“Caves of Calcehtok”). We were not sure what to expect from the Caves of Calcehtok, which make up…

Hacienda Yaxcopoil

With so many haciendas in the area it is hard to pick which ones to visit. After some thought we decided on Hacienda Yaxcopoil, only 30 minutes away from Merida. The Hacienda dates back to the 17th century during the…
