Hacienda Soyuta De Peón

We took a one day organized tour to Hacienda Soyuta De Peón which is south of Merida. Between the mid 19th century and mid 20th century there was a boom for the fibers from the henequén plant. This grows well in the rugged, dry and rocky Yucatan soil. The fibers are used primarily to make rope. Synthetic materials brought an end to the era.
