Hacienda Cocoyoc: History of the Complex
In the 18th century, Hacienda Cocoyoc was one of the country’s twelve most important sugar mills. At the beginning of the 19th century, its aqueduct was built to supply water to the hacienda’s hydraulic wheel system; the structure was also built for irrigation and is still in operation. It ends at the present-day Hotel Hacienda Cocoyoc. Several periods are therefore represented side by side: the architectural complex from the 17th century, the sugar mill from the 18th century, and the waterworks from the early 19th century. Gardens, fountains, and paths also shape the historic complex. Together, these elements offer different architectural and functional perspectives on the hacienda’s history.
