Be seduced by an Italian village, lavender fields reminiscent of Provence and an English castle without leaving Mexico on this excursion to Chautla Hacienda, Rancho San Martin and Val'Quirico.
Lavender Field, Chautla Hacienda & Val'Quirico Excursion
After picking you up at your hotel at 9:45 am, we'll leave Puebla behind and hit the road for the Chautla Hacienda. You'll feel like you've been transported to the UK without ever leaving Mexico!
The legendary Chautla Hacienda is a compound that belonged to the Marquis of Selva Nevada and served as a wheat and corn producer. Making our way through all corners of this stately property, you'll see its gardens, the beautiful lake, unique locally-made ceramic pieces, and of course, tour the facilities of its elegant English castle.
After experiencing what it was like to be an 18th-century aristocrat, we'll continue to the next stop on the tour: Rancho San Martin, an absolute must-see for lavender lovers. Here, you'll attend a workshop to learn about the many uses and properties of this plant - you'll even learn to make your own lavender soap!
Plus, you'll have plenty of time to take all the Instagram-worthy photos your heart desires amidst the ranch's beautiful violet-colored fields. Did you know that lavender is also used in gastronomy? During the visit, you'll be able to sample this for yourself with some lavender coffee and panque, a typical cake.
Around 2 pm, we'll arrive at the last stop on our tour, Val'Quirico, a charming reproduction of a Tuscan town. You'll have an hour of free time to grab a bite to eat for lunch and stroll through its narrow streets and quaint corners. The cobblestone, adobe clay, wood and brick will make you feel as though you've stepped into a medieval Italian village!
At the end of the excursion, we'll return to your hotel in Puebla, arriving at 5 pm.
