Isla Mujeres, Q.R. — Mayor Atenea Gómez Ricalde has spearheaded the start of the rehabilitation work on Hacienda Mundaca. The goal, she said, is preserving the municipality’s historical and cultural heritage.
Hacienda Mundaca, an emblematic site, will soon reopen its doors to island families and visitors. On Tuesday during an event held on the Hacienda Mundaca esplanade, Atenea Gómez said the new project fulfills the commitment to rescue Hacienda Mundaca, a site steeped in history and nature, which will be added to Isla Mujeres’ tourist attractions.
The island mayor emphasized that this project represents a comprehensive effort to rescue and conserve invaluable heritage, promoting the identity and pride of the island community.
The rehabilitation includes general cleanup of the area, reconstruction of trails, demarcation of historical elements, rehabilitation of bathrooms and the open-air theater and the installation of informational signage.
In addition, a wooden birdwatching tower will be built, enhancing the Hacienda’s natural and tourist value. These actions are part of the Annual Investment Program for fiscal year 2025 and will be carried out with funds from the Environmental Sanitation Right.
The mayor indicated that Hacienda Mundaca, currently in a state of deterioration due to exposure to environmental factors and the passage of time, lacked adequate conditions to safely receive tourists. The renovation will preserve its original structures and recover spaces for recreation and family gatherings.
