Tzintsuntzan
Tzintsuntzan, on Lake Patzcuaro in the state of Michoacan, Mexico. Land of hummingbirds. Onomatopoeia anyone?

Drive over or take a bus from Patzcuaro or Quiroga.

Walking works fine.
See[edit]
The Yacatas for a small charge. Visit the historic church and convent (though a home to monks) that is being restored for an even smaller charge. The markets are known for fascinating cement sculptures, Christmas decorations and reed woven goods.

Festivals[edit]
The Night of the Dead around November 2 is quite busy and the cemeteries (pantheons) are magnificently dressed up in marigolds and attended to by families.
