Angahuan Vacation Guide
Angahuan is a small village in the Michoacan state, near Uruapan.
The main attraction is the nearby Volcán Paricutín, which first erupted on 20 February 1943.
Legend tells of a local farmer named Dionisio Pulido who was working on his corn field on a sunny afternoon, when all of a sudden the ground started shaking steam started to vent from the ground. Unlike the normal eruption of a volcano this one started really slowly. Hundreds of scientists were able to see the volcano grow up to 410 metres in a year's time, while lava flows destroyed two nearby villages. Nobody got hurt because everything went so slowly. The volcano continued to grow and spit out lava until it blew its last puff in 1952.
These days the volcano stands as a steep cone in the middle of a landscape of black lava, with a total height of nearly 2800 metres.
The volcano makes a pleasant day trip. Horses and guides can be rented from the centre of Angahuan - You usually find them waiting near the bus stop.

Damn it was cold at night. Unbelievable. I had been warned that it could be somewhat cold in this mountain village, so you'd imagine hotel owners take that into account and the put blankets on the bed which keep you warm enough at night. Well, not quite so, despite the two blanke…

Three nice and welcoming states of Mexico. Very easy to travel in and to find accomodation.
Gorgeous villages and towns, very colorful. Amazing churches, museums, mariachis, cathedrals, tacos, prehispanic ruins, volcanoes, national parks, corona beer, narrow streets.... What else can you ask for?
Remember, you better be careful if you don´t like spicy food!
