Hacienda San José was built in an area where the most valuable Mayan treasures are kept from
time immemorial. It has thus awakened the imagination of both dreamers and adventurers
While the hacienda was refurbished, the aim was always to preserve the characteristics of the site.
Hence, Mayan building techniques such as mixing the resin of the chukum tree (a tree growing in
the region) were recovered. Materials similar to those originally covering floors, walls and
pavements were also used. A chapel, with beautiful, genuine 19th Century frescoes can be seen
inside the Hacienda.
