The history of Hacienda Teya
Teya was a henequen estate in the 19th century, with a large main house and chapel. Like many haciendas, it declined when synthetic fibres replaced henequen.
The buildings were later restored, and the estate now hosts dining and events while preserving its arches and courtyards.
