Overview
Come to visit the only lake in the world where the local fishermen still use the famous "butterfly nets". Discover the statue of "Morelos" on top of Janitzio Island, built in 1933, which is actually higher than the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA.
As you walk the cobblestoned streets, admire the white walls & tile roofs in the city of Patzcuaro that has a style as the state capital as of 1534. Try the local gastronomy at lunch break and learn about the way first Bishop Vasco de Quiroga did his best to benefit the local Indigenous with hospitals, schools, and workshops to improve life, based on the "Utopia" book by Thomas More.
