The book Inside Yucatán: Hidden Merida And Beyond explores twenty-seven haciendas across the Yucatán peninsula, captured in varying states of ruin and revival. Authored by Susana Ordovás with a foreword by Martina Mondadori, it features photography by Guido Taroni documenting the blend of colonial, Renaissance, medieval and Moorish architectural styles found across the properties. Specially commissioned illustrated maps by artist Jesús Cisneros accompany the text, providing regional context for the hacienda trail. The edition documents structures once symbolising the wealth of the peninsula, abandoned in the 1950s and now subject to gradual restoration efforts.
Once symbolising the wealth of the peninsula, the crumbling structures in this exquisite edition are among hundreds of haciendas abandoned in the 1950s. 'Inside Yucatán: Hidden Merida And Beyond' brings to life twenty-seven of the properties along this trail, in varying states of ruin and revival. Their blend of colonial, Renaissance, medieval and Moorish styles is captured in stunning image by Guido Taroni. Specially commissioned maps of the region have been beautifully illustrated by artist Jesús Cisneros. This illuminating edition by Vendome — authored by Susana Ordovás, with a foreword by Martina Mondadori — celebrates the distressed beauty of these lost homes, and hails their revival.
