This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Museo El Lencero, Calle Rafael Murillo Camacho, Xalapa 91640 Mexico

En route, visit the Lencero Museum (aka Museo de Lencero or Ex-Hacienda de Lencero), the Spanish colonial home that belonged to one of Hernán Cortés’ soldiers before it was converted into the home of General Antonio López de Santa Anna, a former president of Mexico.
