So our second stop of the day was to visit Hacienda San Eduardo near Telchac Pueblo in a town called Dzemul. Francisco’s father brought us all to the local hacienda so that we could explore the area. I am not sure if this location is open for tours, but he went and got the person from his house down the street and we all received a private tour of the facility. This is a working henequin plant so we got to see a lot of interesting things. Hacienda San Eduardo was built 100 years ago, with additions in the year 1943. Much of what we saw was the original construction.

There is a beautiful little church attached to the main building, a working factory, a drying section, a storage section and fields of agave which are grown to produce the henequin!
