Such a beautiful place both inside and out. Truly the focal point of the historic district. Please be respectful especially if something is happening inside.

Construction of this cathedral began in 1660 and was completed in 1744 - yes, 84 years later. The towers are towering - over 200 feet high. The organ inside is impressive. This pink stone cathedral is a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is the city's shining star.

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.

Well deserved UNESCO world heritage site!. Built in the 16th century, Morelia is an outstanding example of urban planning which combines the ideas of the Spanish Renaissance with the Mesoamerican experience.

The larger of the two major downtown plazas in Patzcuaro.
Reviewed By susanaquerida - Vancouver, Canada
A large plaza with tourist services surrounding it, this Zocalo is very pretty. It was being decorated while we were there just before Christmas. Unfortunately we didn’t see it completed, but it depicted scenes of the Nativity and animals of the Middle East with some artistic license. Elephants? Anyway, day or night this was a pleasant place to pass the time. Take a bike ride from the Michoacán style family bike ride, 2-seaters that can be lengthened to add more people, making a long caterpillar where everyone has to oedal and cheer led by the lead driver.
9. Basilica de Nuestra Senora de la Salud

This church in Patzcuaro contains many interesting religious icons, including the Virgin of Health, who is alleged to have powerful healing abilities.
Reviewed By WRCtravels - Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
This beautiful old building was crowded with people of all ages and nationalities. There were multiple masses being said since it was Ash Wednesday and for a U.S. norte-Americano it was interesting to see the priests putting the ashes (created from the burning of Palm Sunday the year before) being placed not on the forehead but on top of the head. In addition to the main sanctuary filled with statues, stained glass and amazing woodwork there is a side chapel where services were also being held.

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.
