Mariposa Monarca

Reviewed By BevMoss - Bucharest, Romania

We were a group of four who took a bus from the Poniente bus station in Mexico City to the Don Bruno hotel for three nights in early March. We were lucky to have sunshine for visiting Sierra Chincua and el Rosario since the butterflies were very active, but the high point was our guide Oscar who not only did an excellent job of explaining everything we were seeing, but also took us around to the other sites in Angangueo. He has suffered the cancellation of 10 trips this year because of the difficulties in the town and is supporting a family on what he makes guiding and driving taxi. We highly recommend Oscar Reyes. His contact information is [email protected] or WhatsApp +52 715 127 2308.

The Stirrup Volcano (Volcan del Estribo Grande)

Located just outside of town, this small volcano provides excellent views of Patzcuaro.

Reviewed By ChineseBabe - Corvallis, United States

In Patzcuaro, this uphill walk is called El Estribo, and as others have said, it is easy to find the main rocky road. When we travel, we like to workout to get a dose of daily exercise, and in Patzcuaro, El Estribo is an outstanding outdoors option. The start is a little rough with a rocky road climbing through a poor but friendly neighborhood. There is lots of commerce and fellow exercisers on the road to El Estribo making one feel safe. The upper part of the climb is a beautiful, tree-lined road that leads to a fabulous lookout and picnic area. A steep set of 300-400 stairs takes climbers to the very top of the volcano. However, the lookout/ gazebo area has the best view. In our 7 days in Patzcuaro, we sweated up El Estribo 3 times and loved every 2-hour roundtrip walk. Non-walkers could take a taxi to the lookout area and gazebo to enjoy the fantastic views and appreciate the beauty of Lake Patzcuaro.

Lake Camecuaro

A well-kept lake and park, complete with 300-year-old cypress groves.

Reviewed By Cinnsityy - Los Angeles, United States

Great place for anyone, couples, families or friends. The lake requires an admission but once inside you are free to set up picnic anywhere. Arrived before opening so experienced it before anyone else could. The lake is surprisingly clean with beautiful crystal clear water. You are able to buy drinks and snacks all throughout the establishment. You can also rent a small boat for a tour across the lake. Well worth it.

Jardin de las Rosas

Reviewed By ReluctantReviews - Vancouver, Canada

Lovely area away from the hustle and bustle of the main drag. Relaxing place to wonder - have a cup of coffee at a local bar and just enjoy the atmosphere. Great statue - see picture
