When international demand for henequen dropped, the regional industry fell into decline and haciendas like Teya were abandoned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By the 1970s, the estate had fallen into ruin and was bought by Jorge Cardenas, a Merida businessman. He and his family restored it, starting with the gardens and replanting trees in the orchards and around the house. Restoration work on the buildings took place in the 1980s and the machine room was refurbished as an elegant wedding and event venue. Nowadays, you can enjoy lunch in the restaurant and then wander around the grounds to see an exhibition of photos dating from the early 20th century, learn about the restoration process, visit the estate chapel and even the old hacienda chimney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomasmoretravel.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thomas More Travel<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can help you arrange tours to these locations and many more throughout the Yucatan Peninsula.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s our monthly gallery showcasing some of the region\u2019s many natural and historical attractions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":64445,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[669],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-64474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-june-2022"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
