In Altamira, the only lavender field in Tamaulipas and in the northeastern country

Altamira cuenta con el único campo de lavanda en Tamaulipas y el noreste del país, mismo que por tercer año consecutivo florece y atrae la atención de visitantes de la región.

En el rancho Gertrudis, a la altura del kilómetros 63 de la carretera Tampico-Mante, se ha convertido en un fuerte potencial de agroturismo y con proyección a convertirse en un parque temático.

Emma Lucía Williamson, amante de esta flor, decidió apostarle a “Lavanda S23” en el estadio tras 14 años de sembrar en la Ciudad de México. La idea no era sólo producir, sino regalarle a familias el convivir con la flor oriunda de Europa que emana un agradable aroma, utilizado para el relajamiento.

When associating with Carlos Palacios, they produce nine different types of lavender, unique in Mexico.This field is very busy by the families that lie in Tampico, Ciudad Madero, Altamira, Veracruz and San Luis Potosí.

Visitors are offered a firewood-cooked breakfast.After this, a tour is made to explain its properties and what is used.

As a field of agrotourism, it has halls between the hectare where the planting is and is expected to add another.

The product is distilled and the water from the oil is separated;Soaps, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, teas, honey, medications and more profits are made. Su aroma hace que sea única la experiencia para el turismo, con el viento se respira un aire que da paz y tranquilidad.It is open from Tuesday to Sunday, with weekend tours.

Why lavender S23?

The name is inspired by Psalm 23.Mentions the roads and a series of particularities that were adapted to the same planting field.Carlos Palacios, explained that it is a way to thank God for the 80 years of the ranch and for the project, not being an endemic flower, he quickly adapted to the land and since the first year he flourished.

The problem

In 2020 they not only faced the coronavirus pandemic, but also the same fungus that affects the sorghum and corn attacked the lavender and lost much of the crop.

This did not happen in the first two years.Supported by the National Polytechnic Institute and Jesús García, the problem was counteracted in a biological and non -chemical way.Thus, another part was rescued and again sowed.In this season there is little flower, but with the changes a better condition is expected in 2022.
