DISCOVER Pueblo Mágico, Village of Sisal
Art, Culture and Community Spirit
Sisal, now recognized as Pueblo Mágico, is one of the ports with great historical, cultural and natural heritage in the State of Yucatan, since in colonial times it was a point of great importance for the commercialization of various products such as fiber from henequen, cocoa, cotton, among others. Empress Carlota Amalia built a property to establish in this place, not only because of the economic attractiveness that it represented in her time, but because she was struck by the beauty of the port.
It is located just 53 kilometers / 32 miles northeast of Mérida, Sisal is a quiet and small place, a fishing port where people are friendly and hospitable, making this an ideal place for those who seek to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Its main attraction is its beaches of green tones that contrast with the soft white sand, surrounded by dunes and palm trees that immediately invite you to lie down, sunbathe and cool off for a while.
In addition to the beach, you can appreciate many historical buildings that have survived over time, such as the Maritime Customs, The House of the Empress Carlota, the Fort of Santiago, El Faro and the cannons located in the central park that were witnesses of defense against pirates in ancient times.
The pier is the place for those who enjoy fishing, relaxing and waiting for your catch or to just take in the view.
A tour that you cannot miss is the boat tour through the El Palmar State Reserve, where you will be taken to explore the mangroves that inside protect a great marine fauna and a great variety of endemic and migratory birds that find shelter here. You may be lucky enough to see crocodiles, jellyfish, flamingos, pelicans, cormorants, raccoons, herons.
The gastronomy of this place is based on fresh seafood of the day, but you can also find traditional and typical food. There are many restaurants, inns and houses that offer delicious food daily for those who visit Sisal beach.
