The central historic areas of this charming pueblo are easily navigated on foot. You will discover restaurants, shops, churches, museums, and an authentic architecture from a traditional and tranquil time. The lake of Patzcuaro and surrounding mountains covered in hues of rich green crowned by a picturesque sky create an incredible landscape. Many of the villages that surround the lake feature a variety of arts and crafts.
Preservation of the original architectural structure and design of this colonial era home has remained intact.
