Ex-Hacienda de Chautla — Attraction in Puebla

Nice place to chill out with your family or a good walking around of the lake but, do not have a big expectation about the castle. The castle is small but beautiful where you can take pictures from outside where you can appreciate the lake and the castle together. You can explore it, in the last story is a terraza where you can take pictures, on the ground floor you can buy some souvenirs at good prices, the stairs are very narrow and are not suitable and safe for the elderly people or those with mobility problems. There are activities like, fishing, camping, riding, boating, zip zone and they offer you an excursion to visit the eyes of water and Los Arroyos that are in the upper part of the area. On the lake is a kiosk if you wish take pictures you have to get earlier before there are many people. If you follow the stairs to the top you will find the hotel that has a restaurant with a buffet with different delicious dishes and a beautiful view of the lake.

The entrance to the castle has a cost of $40 Adult, $20 Seniors, $10 Children and $20 Parking.

Tips.- Inside of you can find food venders and delicious ice cream. At the parking lot you can find local venders, selling fruit, corn in a cob, pan dulce.

The ex-hacienda de Chautla was absolutely beautiful and stunning. I had been wanting to go for the longest time and it was worth it. It’s situated on a lake that you can go fishing for trout, take a paddle boats, zip line or even eat at their restaurant. It’s such a peaceful place and very enjoyable just to walk around and see the view. You can easily bring your own food to have a picnic or there are food stalls right outside the entrance. The parking was very reasonable (57 pesos or approx $3 USD) and the admission fee was 45 pesos (approx $2.30 USD). Once you get in the castle they have a gift shop and take your picture that you can purchase later. I believe there are other parts of the hacienda on the property that we didn’t get to explore due to town restrictions but you could easily spend...
