San Luis Potosí has over two hundred registered hacienda estates within its territory. Most never appear in any tourist guide or official map. They are simply buildings that remain standing because the stone they were built with was too thick to collapse on its own.
In this video, we explore 12 abandoned haciendas in San Luis Potosí where the owners fled and never returned to reclaim what was theirs. From the Hacienda de Guanamé, where treasure hunters from Europe and the United States have arrived with sophisticated equipment only to find nothing, to the secret tunnels of La Parada in Ahualulco. From the mining hacienda that was visited by Porfirio Díaz to number one: a five-million-dollar property that belonged to the most famous man in Mexican comedy cinema and which today is nothing more than silence and unguarded walls.
