This place has really suffered from a lack of funding and care. It is overgrown, has some a limited exhibition - but all only in Spanish (which is quite typical in Mexico, they don't translate as other countries in museums). I explored hoping to discover a hidden gem but sadly it was missing. I get the feeling it should be... More

On a cloudy day, we went to Hacienda Mundaca with my parents and my kids. A mistake, unfortunately. It's quite overgown, not much to see, not well maintained. There is a strange, small, out-of-place fake native village made out of flimsy materials, with no context or explanation. And there is a strange little house that I suppose belonged to the... More

There's not much to see, but the entry cost is so small my girlfriend and I had to stop by this place. It's small but the gardens is beautiful.

It's very disappointing that this place has not had better care. Although Mundaca wasn't the best, the property deserves to be taken care of or at least used...

I know this is where alot of the history of the island started, but there is really not much here. the original house is neat though. Not sure why they have monkeys.
