‘Monarchs of Michoacan’ Day 4: Patzcuaro
Posted February 11, 2011 by Sarada Krishnan, Director of Horticulture
Patzcuaro was an important ceremonial center of the indigenous Purepechas people during the pre-Hispanic period. We stay in the heart of this beautiful town close to the two main plaza squares. In the morning we take a boat from the pier to Janitzio Island. The Patzcuaro Lake in known for its white fish and we see fishermen using their traditional butterfly nets for fishing.
