Selva en la ciudad
Apres avoir quitte Patzcuaro et son lac vers 1h (Miguel nous a conduit a la gare routiere) on prend le bus direction Uruapan. On decide de prendre un hotel simple en face de la gare routiere (les "fenetres" sont des lamelles de verre et ne se ferment pas!!! donc un bruit enorme, meme dans la nuit).

The guidebook mentions that it´s a nice change from the bustling town and that the park has beautiful waterfalls and cascading rivers. This convinced our cheap selves to pay the $12peso entrance fee and to dedicate the whole day to explore the park ...
