On the way from Patzcuaro to Zamora on the free road, you’ll come across a string of eleven small towns collectively known as Cañada de los Once Pueblos beginning with a village called Carapan and ending with Chilchota.

Each town is proud of its cultural and commercial offerings, including beautiful works of decorative pottery, traditional Purépecha music, unique breads, and fertile agricultural lands.

Each village has its own small church and plaza, but the churches that deserve as special visit are those in Huáncito and Tanaquillo. Ask at the hotel’s front desk if there are any special festivals that coincide with your visit to the region. The experience will be unforgettable.

Zamora is one of Michoacan’s most important agro-industrial centers, distributing and processing the rich crops of the region, like the famous strawberries and a specialty dessert called chongos zamoranos. Don’t miss the town’s many important 19th century stone churches and cathedrals.
