Hda. San Rafael Ukum will provide lodging, dining, and other recreational, educational, and cultural activities for individual travelers and groups in an absolutely magical, pristine, secluded environment of over 1000 acres.

Our vision is that Hda. San Rafael Ukum will be a "working" hacienda. It will sponsor the Institute of Mayan Popular Culture and the Institute of Adult Development as well as several agricultural projects designed in collaboration with the local Mayan community. Guests will be able to join in these activities and more when they come to stay…. Or they can participate in an adult education program of workshops offered by experts in their fields…. Or visitors can just relax, swim in the cenotes, go horse-back riding, and watch nature reveal itself in a space that fosters contemplation, personal exploration, and renewal.

The hacienda is located just outside the friendly, picturesque Mayan town of Tekit, just off La Ruta de Los Conventos. It is just 15 minutes from the well-known archeological site of Mayapan and 45 minutes from downtown Merida, the beautiful colonial city and capital of the Yucatan. It is about 3 ½ hours from Puerto Morelos, so you can spend time at the beach and time in the country, all in one vacation!

Development of several casitas (traditional Mayan houses restored on the sites where they originally were built) will begin in 2003. Contact us for more information.
