Cattle and Pulque Haciendas

Historical accounts tell of more than 20 haciendas in what is now Zempoala. Today, a dozen such estates remain. It is, however, a considerable number for a municipality that encompasses barely 31,000 hectares. With only two percent of all Hidalgo’s land, Zempoala preserves six percent of the state’s 200 haciendas.

Zempoala’s old haciendas radiate splendor. And, although there are many, this grandeur takes on its own special luster in each of them. While you can find common characteristics and compare them, there are still significant differences between them. A tour of the estates would take a couple of days.
