Michoacán
In the surrounding towns near a fair-sized lake called, Lake Pátzcuaro, travelers can find artisans who create beautiful items out of wood, clay, copper, stone, wool, and cotton.
In this same area of central Michoacán, visitors can also meet the indigenous people of this region called the Perepechas.
Interestingly, this state is also home to one of the most recently formed volcanoes in the world which rose out of the earth back in 1943.
In the eastern region of this state, there is a national park with hot springs and a couple of protected sanctuaries where the monarch butterflies come to live in the fall and winter months.
The capital city of Morelia is filled with México history and attractive colonial style buildings.
