Hacienda Teya was founded in 1683 by Ildefonsa Antonia Marcos Bermejo Calderón y de la Helguera, the wife of the Count of Miraflores. For two centuries it was a livestock plantation before converting to grow maize and then henequen.

History

Haciendas in the Yucatan were farming and manufacturing centers which produced meat and henequen (sisal) rope for export to Europe and North America. During the boom years, the henequen cactus was known as “green gold” and brought great wealth to the hacendados or landowner.

2:30 pm Guided visit to The Mayan City Chichen Itza, meaning “At the mouth of the well of the Itza”. Itza is the name of an ethnic-lineage group that gained political and economic dominance of the northern peninsula. One possible translation for Itza is “enchanter (or enchantment) of the water, from its, “sorcerer”, and ha, “water”. It was established before the period of Christopher Colombus.

Located in the center of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, Chichen Itza is a large Maya civilization complex centered around the distinctive pyramid known as El Castillo (Temple of Kukulkan) pyramid. The complex also features the Great Ball Court, the most impressive of several such sporting arenas found at other Mayan sites, basically a long court with hoops built up on the walls and surrounded by spectator galleries. Precisely how they played the ball game is now unknown, and the various reenactments you’ll see at some of the tourist sites are basically just guesses.

July 7th, 2007 Chichen-Itza was chosen as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
