T
he Yucatán is an absolute must. ILTM returning exhibitor Catherwood Travels provides that little bit extra, with expert guides in art history, pre-Hispanic and colonial history,
archaeology, diving, and bird watching – among many other specialty areas – taking its guests off the beaten track and transforming visits to Maya sites, colonial cities, and ecological reserves into travel experiences unlike any other in Mexico – or on the planet.
Each of Catherwood’s three private haciendas is a centuries- old estate, beautifully restored to offer every luxury to the modern traveller. These haciendas simultaneously evoke the graciousness and history of old-style hacienda life, with original finishes and tile-work and antique furnishings. Off the beaten track locations create an instant disconnection from ‘the real world’, and the welcoming hacienda staff are on hand to attend to every need. Each property features pools and extensive gardens, ample spaces for relaxing or socializing, and world-class regional cuisine.
Hacienda Tekik de Regil is Catherwood’s most magnificent private hacienda, a property for travellers seeking a totally ‘out of this world’ experience. Tekik’s kitchen has recently
been upgraded for cookery classes, fully equipped for the most demanding of international chefs and taking guests from an introduction to regional fruits and vegetables to a discussion of traditional culinary techniques, through to preparing handmade tortillas and specialties like cochinita pibil (pit- roasted pork). Traditional Yucatecan cuisine is extraordinarily rich in its variety, emerging in part from ancient Maya cooking as well as from Spanish influences, and even later incorporating techniques that arrived with Middle Eastern immigrants.
Fall in love with life in the Yucatán and learn all about this fascinating cuisine, from the regional chefs who know it best.
