Hacienda Kankabchén is located in the Tixkokob Municipality in the state of Yucatán in southeastern Mexico.

[3] At the east side of Mérida, from the Periférico, take Calle 65 approximately 19 km to Tixkokob.

All of the henequen plantations ceased to exist as autonomous communities with the agrarian land reform implemented by President Lazaro Cardenas in 1937.

His decree turned the haciendas into collective ejidos, leaving only 150 hectares to the former landowners for use as private property.

After 1937, figures indicate those living in the community, as the remaining Hacienda Kankabchén houses only the owner's immediate family.
