A lavender ranch, a castle reflected in a lake and a village-like shopping center make for an unusual day out from Puebla. This tour brings together three very different stops, with transport between them and a guide to help the day run smoothly.

I like the short soap-making workshop, which gives the lavender stop a hands-on element, and the peaceful setting at Chautla, where the castle and lake make a fine change of pace. One thing to keep in mind: the lavender visit may feel more like a brief introduction to the ranch and its shop than a full farm tour.
