Hacienda de Chautla








Located in the shadows of the volcanoes just 20 minutes from San Martin, Chautla was built by a priest from Europe who wanted a small Versailles to remind him of home. Maximilian and Carlotta supposedly vacationed here. The lakes that surround the palace are stocked with trout from nearby hatcheries. The first floor of the palace is a restaurant where they will prepare your catch. The gardens are used for weddings and quinceaneras. The second to last picture is the entrance and the last picture is an escape tunnel built during the Mexican Revolution.
