Hacienda Chichén is located within the ancient Maya city of Chichen Itza, in the county of Tinum, Yucatán, Mexico. It was one of the first haciendas established in Yucatán and was in ruins by 1847. Edward Herbert Thompson, U.S. consul in Yucatán, purchased Hacienda Chichén, including the archaeological site visitedRead more
today in 1894. He excavated, explored and exported goods from the site to the Peabody Museum for over 3 decades. In 1926, he was charged with trafficking of antiquities but the charges were later dropped and his heirs sold the site. The purchaser, Fernando Barbachano Peon is credited with beginning the tourism industry of Yucatán and being the first hotelier to change a hacienda into a hotel.

ancient ruins
A walled Maya city north of Valladolid where you can still climb the Acropolis past the plaster stucco jaws of a monster-mouth doorway guarding a king's tomb. Far quieter than Chichén Itzá an hour away.
