Michoacan
Michoacán is incomparable, rich in Typical Towns, Natural Beauties, Art and Culture. Recognized by its historical, cultural and artisan value like the soul of Mexico.
Here the invincible Purépecha Empire was born, whose dominions extended by almost all the center of the country.
At the moment, it is possible to be enjoyed the cultural wealth of that Empire in the archaeological zones of Pátzcuaro, Tzintzuntzan, Ihuatzio, Huandacareo, Cuitzeo, San Felipe of the Alzati and Tingambato; as well as in the towns of the shore of the Lake of Pátzcuaro, Purépecha Plateau, Bog of Zacapu and the Gorge of the Eleven Towns, all heirs of the celebrations, customs, music, dances, gastronomy and crafts purépecha. Most of these towns already they existed before the arrival of the Spaniards and their present names are the best example of the mestization in Michoacán. |
This is one of the most scenically beautiful states in all of Mexico. Morelia, the state capital, is a fascinating colonial city filled with sublime architecture. Its treasures include a first rate folk art museum and sales gallery along with a market to rival those in Mexico City.
