Viatura Unseen Escapes is a new way to explore destinations through local experiences and offers endless possibilities to travelers looking to discover their own destinations with every adventure.

Viatura Hacienda Xtojil is the second destination operated under the Viatura Unseen Escapes concept and joins Viatura Omún in San Miguel de Allende.

Viatura Unseen Escapes, the exclusive glamp-siting concept created by Grupo Presidente, is the result of a long and careful planning that arose to satisfy the needs of travelers who seek to go beyond the ordinary, finding their own path and leave a mark as they walk through it.

Aware of the evolution of the tourism industry in recent years and the different types of travelers that exist today, Grupo Presidente developed this new concept that mixes the charm of nature and the local environment with comfort, service, hospitality, and know-how that characterizes the company.

A few months after starting the operation of Viatura Omún in San Miguel de Allende, a second destination opens its doors in the town of Sotuta de Peón, just 45 minutes from Mérida, in the State of Yucatán: Viatura Hacienda Xtojil, a vibrant and cozy space ideal for connecting with nature and enjoying the small pleasures of life.

Immersed among fields of henequén, a species of agave cultivated in the Mayan region since pre-Hispanic times, also known as “the green gold of Yucatán”, this new glamping concept is an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the destination of a different way with the same benefits of a Resort.

Viatura Unseen Escapes offers accommodation circuits in different “home bases” that are completely safe and with all the comforts of a hotel immersed in nature. In each “home base,” you can find from 5 to 15 tents with large and comfortable beds, swimming pools heated by solar energy, and all the amenities that can be found in a five-star hotel.

Viatura Hacienda Xtojil offers 15 modern tents equipped with all the comforts that guarantee a unique, safe, and comfortable stay. With a contemporary style design, they enhance the ecosystem with local, sustainable, and low ecological impact materials in two different categories:

Tent Pepper (10): They have a king-size bed, desk, private bathroom with shower, eco-friendly amenities, coffee kit, tea maker, and a large terrace. They measure 37m2 and have a maximum capacity for two guests.

Tent Champagner with pool (5): They have a king-size bed, private bathroom with shower, eco-friendly amenities, coffee kit, tea maker, and terrace with a pool that offers beautiful views of the henequen fields. They measure 56m2 and have a maximum capacity for two guests.

Viatura Hacienda offers as well a bar, Wi-Fi, business center, and parking.

Yucatán is the owner of an unparalleled gastronomic wealth at Viatura Hacienda.

The creation of experiences is the central axis of Viatura Unseen Escapes and therefore, it has experts in different disciplines, who offer guidance and support to nourish the physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional being. At Viatura Hacienda Xtojil guests can discover a new way to explore and get to know Yucatan, customizing their activities according to the tastes and interests of each traveler. Throughout their stay, the guests will be able to choose from a range of options for the activities they wish to experience, which are divided into five main categories.

EXPLORE: from walks in the area, buggy tours, visits to the cenotes in the region, expeditions to Mayapán, considered the last great Mayan capital, and Sisal, for flamingo observation, stargazing and ceremonies in the Meliponary.

PLAY: offers ideal activities for the most adventurous travelers, kayaking, paddle surfing, horseback riding, and diving in different cenotes located in the Cenote Ring Reserve, a protected natural area located in the central region of Yucatán.

TASTE: Sybaritic travelers will be able to enjoy a delicious culinary experience in the Magical Town of Maní, located in the heart of the state and whose name in the Mayan language means “Place where everything happened.” The gastronomy of Maní is a combination of ingredients used by the ancient Mayans and the flavors brought by the Spanish, in addition to the typical dishes of the region such as black filling, white filling, and Poc Chuc, among others.

RELAX: If travelers are looking to find peace, serenity, and a quiet space to rest, they will have options such as practicing yoga at dawn, sound healing (sound therapies), cocoa ceremony, Temazcal ritual guided by a Mayan Shaman and, for the most daring, guided sessions of ice bath.

CREATE: guests who wish to do so may choose to participate in activities within the facilities, such as a henequen workshop and a totem painting workshop.

The excellent location of Viatura Hacienda Xtojil:
Just 40 minutes from Mérida International Airport and a few kilometers from the largest ring of cenotes in Yucatán, this new glamping is the ideal option for travelers looking for new experiences.
