History:
Founded in 1604 by the Colegio de Cristo, in conjunction with Hacienda Santa Rosa de Lima, Hacienda San Miguel 30, and the Temple of the Asuncion in Temimilcingo, its rich history spans centuries. In 1851, the hacienda achieved the classification of 3rd Class, making a significant contribution in terms of taxes and ranking 12th among the region's haciendas.
Specializing in the cultivation and exploitation of sugar cane, the hacienda produced an impressive yield of approximately 2,400 barrels per year, equivalent to over 480,000 liters. Moreover, its confectioner's sugar garnered recognition at the Universal Exposition in Paris, earning an honorable mention for its exceptional quality.
Nestled in Tlatizapan, Morelos, the San José Acamilpa Hacienda is located in the very birthplace of the Zapatista revolution. After enduring looting and destruction during the revolutionary period, the hacienda found rejuvenation in the 1960s when a prominent businessman from the press and publishing industry transformed it into a sanctuary, shielding it from the complexities and commotion of the city.
Today, Hacienda Acamilpa stands as an extraordinary hidden treasure, boasting breathtaking gardens and an indescribable experience that captivates all who encounter it. It is for these reasons that Hacienda Acamilpa is widely regarded as the Best Kept Secret, offering an unparalleled getaway for those seeking respite and enchantment.
