Puerto Vallarta was a bit disappointment for us! The coast is not so beautiful, the place is super touristy, the town is not that interesting, it is really hot there, all activities are super expensive and it is just another destination for those who want to party like Playa del Carmen. So we don’t have a lot to say.

The trip to get there was long and expensive and we only went there because we wanted to visit the secret beach of Marietas islands. But even that didn’t work. We paid expensive on the tour, but the tide was very high so the access to the beach, which is only possible through an arch in the water, was blocked! Plan ruined! Ahahaha

The most beautiful part was the view of the city with its mountains in the background and the view from the lookout.

Unsatisfied we left pretty soon, to another colonial city with hopes to find a refuge that could please us. Morelia is sensational and different from all the other colonial cities of Mexico, as all its historical center is in a single stone tone. Just beautiful!

Just on the day we arrived it was the final of the Confederations Cup. A game that promised … Brazil vs Spain. The game was exciting and Brazil won 3-0.

The city is full of beautiful churches, but the Cathedral in Plaza de Armas is a spectacle, especially illuminated at night. The best thing to do here is to walk admiring every little street and enjoy the cuisine of the region, which is a delight.

One day we visited another small town 1 hour from here, called Pátzcuaro. Another colonial city with different style, all white and red, where the signs of all the shops, restaurants or offices are painted in the same way. Funny.

From there we took the boat on Lake Pátzcuaro and visited the tiny island of Janitzio, where we could see the whole lake from the viewpoint.

Back to Morelia we rest for a day and the next day we went to Uruapan where we would visit the Volcan Paricutín. We took a bus to the village of Angahuan where local women still dress traditionally and which has a beautiful church in the main square.

We had 1 hour walk to the ruins of San Juan, where we visited the city that was buried by lava from the volcano in 1943 and the only thing left was the church towers. It is impressive to see miles of mountain lava around the church with the majestic Volcano in the background.

Paricutín is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and Volcano is the world’s youngest and the only we humans saw born. All the other ones were in place for thousands of years. Amazing don’t you think.

We returned to Morelia and tomorrow we go to Mexico City, to party over the weekend with our friend David. Fiesta Mexicana … Aiaiaiaaiai!!
