An island that is off the coast from Patzcuaro, in the state of Michoacan, where the Tarascan culture lingers.
My suggestion
Its famous for being one of the best places to celebrate "el dia de los muertos". But unless you really enjoy being a part of crowds of bad mannered tourist,s who like staring at other people, I recommend you avoid going on that day.
Keen to discover the northern region of Mexico? The Nuevo León, as well as Coahuila are two regions housing cities to see, when going on a visit to the north of Mexico. In fact, Monterrey and Saltillo have several attractions.
The north and south are two different worlds, not only in terms of their landscape but also their economic structures. On this one strip of land fierce industrialization contrasts with a laid back tourist lifestyle.
I guarantee that hopping on the El Chepe train will be a unique adventure in the north-west of Mexico. As the kilometres go by, incredible landscapes will pass before your eyes, don't miss the train!
