Today we will visit an extraordinary village. Our route will take us through the moonscape like lava beds of Ceburoco. Our next stop will be the archeological site of Ixtlan, most of which is yet to be uncovered. Camp down will be in the lakeside resort of Chapala on Lake Chapala. Today we will drive through increasingly beautiful mountain terrain and scores of small villages.
Boat rides are available to the islands.
Camp down in Patzcuaro. The beautiful and regal city of Morelia will be our first stop of the day. Sitting on a 6368' high plateau, Morelia is considered a gem in Mexico's colonial highlands. Our next destination is the mountain village of Angangueo where we will board a couple of trucks that will take us to an altitude of 10,000 feet where hundreds of thousands of monarch butterflies migrate every year covering every inch of the ground, an unforgettable breathtaking sight. Hotel accommodation in Angangueo.
