Road Trip to Patzcuaro

road trip from Ixtapa to Patzcuaro, a colonial city in Mexico which was the first colonial capital of Mexico. The altitude is 2100 m (7000 ft) so the temperatures were chilly, and freezing at night (in January).

Patzcuaro is a picturesque colonial city, which was the first capital established by the Spaniards in Mexico in the 16th century. The town has retained its colonial architecture with adobe and wood buildings with tiled roofs and cobblestone streets.

We took a ferry out to Janitzio, an island in Patzcuaro lake. The village on the island has no vehicles, but lots of incredibly steep pedestrian streets which are basically stairs leading to the summit of the island. At the top there's a monument to a Mexican revolutionary war hero, Morelos.
You can climb up inside the monument to dizzying heights.
