Paid to Play Episode 9: Island of the Dead
This is a top pick! On Patzcuaro Lake sits the small island of Janitzio where the largest celebration of The Day of the Dead takes place each year. Some 10,000 people or so will jam themselves onto this little island every November 1st and go to the even smaller ...
JANITZIO ISLAND AND PARICUTIN VOLCANO
As it was lashing with rain when we arrived and for most of the evening we were unable to see this well-preserved colonial town until this morning. The buildings are in a distinctive white and reddish brown with the names of shops, pharmacies scribed in ...
Day of the Dead Weekend
... and what new things I could find to explore. A nice thing about the festivities is that artisans from all over Michoacan come to Patzcuaro, you can find anything you'd ever want and so much more that you'll never need, but is it's fun (I ended up ...
SMELLY SANDALS AND THE PINK CITY
... , once again, were stunning with beautiful flowers in candy colours amongst an abundance of gold leaf. Just before we entered Patzcuaro we hit a storm. The rain was pelting down and it looked like a river had broken its banks as we floated ...
The slow life in Pátzcuaro
The long haul finished, Shin and I arrived at my friends Jenn and Randall's house in Erongarícuaro at around 9:30 pm on Christmas night. I had about fifty packages for them, all smuggled goods, and they in turn had the wood-fired hot water heater fired ...
Morelia und Patzcuaro
OK, nichts geht mehr, die Entscheidung ist gefallen: Morelia hat DAS schönste Zentrum aller mexikanischen Städte, in denen wir gewesen sind. Der Ruf war der Stadt schon vorausgeeilt, aber sie uebertrifft bei Weitem unsere Erwartungen. Eine riesige ...
Is this the land of the lotus eaters?
I suppose that I haven't been entirely forthcoming on my intentions. Sure the title says from here to Tierra del Fuego. I never made clear that I had one other objective: to find a quaint little piece of land for my brother here in the Pátzcuaro ...
One lap around the zocalo
We went into Leon this morning to have my new chain installed, didn't get on the road until about 2 and headed for this town. We got in just before dark and pulled off the through street down a roughly cobblestoned street towards the centro ...
After the Big Day
It's our last full day in Patzcuaro, and I'm grasping at straws as to how to find a way to stay longer. There are a few fairy tale towns I've found; Salzburg, San Miguel de Allende, Dingle (I know, I know- but I love small Irish towns by the seaside) and ...
Is this the daily grind?
... apartment, more like a room with a bathroom, in Erongaricuaro, just across the lake. I have been hanging out in my studio in Patzcuaro, in a place known locally as gringolandia. Needless to say there are a lot of gringos here, but they tend to be more ...
Ihuatzio
The pryamids of Ihuatzio are just a short ride by collectivo from the town of Patzcuaro in the state of Michoacan. I was able to catch a collectivo, or Volkswagen van taxi, from the plaza of the hotel we were staying. About fifteen minutes later, I was ...
Noche de Muertos
... day the dead can revisit the living (the gap between here and the afterlife are at their closest, 6 weeks from either side) and Patzcuaro is one of the most famous locations to celebrate such, except here is referred to as Night of the Dead. At 2200m ...
Shit Happens
Well... I had an additional four pages of entries for this journal in my computer that i wrote the day before it was stolen- along with the truck and everything else that we own. As you can imagine it has put quite a damper on our plans. We were camping ...
?Halloween- DOTD. DOTD- Halloween?
... DF, but next time for sure! Back to the zocalo to get our bags and head towards the bus station for our late afternoon ride to Patzcuaro. (Watch out alert: drivers are HORRIFIC in DF, if you think you've seen road rage in the US, wait til you come here- ...
A colonial gem awashed with narrow cobbled streets
... a population of around 45,000 and sits a couple of kilometre's from the shores of Lago de Patzcuaro, which some say is the most beautiful lake in Mexico - I disagree, but it is one of the most picturesque colonial towns that I have ...
El Día de los Muertos on Isla de Janitzio

Uruapan- Lago Zirahuen
... two dawgs it can be quite a pain in the ass. We woke up the next morning and headed for Lago Zirahuen just outside of Patzcuaro. We arrived in the town of Zirahuen just in time for a late breakfast. Quite possibly some of the best food we have had ...
Dia de los Muertos

Lago Del Zirahuén
17.8 km /12 mi 285 m climb It is quite amazing that we can sleep so well in spite of traffic zooming by till all hours of the night. The real heavily loaded trucks create an earthquake like vibration we could feel from our spot 40 meters off the ...
Stealth Camping among the Wildflowers
... MP 76, Trip alt 684 m - 35 km distance Another beautiful day. Our "warmshower" host, Jorge, who lives on the north end of Patzcuaro lake, had replied that he was happy to host us. We called him and told him about our plan to stop one night in Zirahuen on ...

Delicious Pátzcuaro
... to me because I am not a fan of hominy. Then I smelled the delicious aroma from the pozole stand in the market here in Patzcuaro. I tried it, and now can't get enough of it. It's such a rich thick slightly smoky soup, The earthy flavor I dislike about ...

Just Looking to Pop Our Heads in Town Real Quick
It was on our way south to Uruapan, and the guide book said it was nice little lakeside town so we had to check it out. They had 2 huge plazas with a ton of shade, which is absolutely key in this sorching Mexican sun. We just hung out, walked ...
