La Paranera is the name of the wellspring of Las Huertas (The Orchards). Centuries ago, the inhabitants of Comala used to come to fill their jugs to this wellspring, where some grass, known as “pará” or “parán”, used to grow. In the middle of the 20th century, Don Samuel Fuentes Salazar, Comalteco of origin, became the custodian of this land and turned it into an orchard filled with fruits from this region, such as: Mamey sapote, guamúchil (Manila tamarind), coconut tree, guava, mango, soursop, coffee, etc. 70 years later, Don Samuel’s family keeps carrying on the legacy to preserve this unique micro ecosystem.
