El Lencero was a 19th‑century hacienda once owned by Antonio López de Santa Anna; the region’s towns grew up around coffee cultivation introduced during the colonial and post‑colonial eras.
Coffee production here ranges from small farms to larger roasters—favor shade‑grown beans and support local vendors to encourage environmentally friendlier practices; stick to marked paths at Texolo to limit erosion.
