Venue Setting

Hacienda Chuntuac, built in 1620, is one of the oldest and most beautiful haciendas in Yucatán. It is nestled in the lush Cuxtal nature reserve, surrounded by tropical plants and colorful birds, yet only thirty minutes from Merida.

This architectural jewel has been passed through families for generations. With over 400 years of history and the desire to share this special place, we opened our doors in 2022 as a unique event venue and luxury lodging space.

Imagine an intimate semi-circle ceremony around the terrace or sipping cocktails while twinkling lights dangle from its branches.
