Michoacán is unique and one-of-a-kind, the perfect fusion of Natural Beauty, Picturesque Towns, Art and Culture. To travel to Michoacán is to take a trip through the extraordinary history, culture and folklore of México. To journey to Michoacán is to discover and learn what is the soul of México.
Michoacán, a land of mountains and lakes, gave birth to the invincible Purépecha Empire that dominated almost the entire center of this country. The archaeological remains guard the footsteps of time. The indigenous villages along the shores of Lake Pátzcuaro, the Meseta ("Plateau") Purépecha, the marshlands around Zacapu and the Cañada de los Once Pueblos ("The Gorge of the Eleven Towns") have preserved the traditions and language of the invincible empire. Not only a multiplicity of landscapes, Michoacán is also a cultural hegemony, where, in addition to the Purèpechas, indigenous groups such as the neighboring Mazahuas and Otomies in the eastern region and the Náhuatl along the coast, offer a wealth of traditions, fairs, fiestas, customs, music, dance, handicrafts, cuisine and architecture. And while the characteristic towns have maintained their indigenous legacies, the attractive cities of Pátzcuaro and Morelia have preserved their colonial heritage.
