Isla de Janitzio (han-it-zio)

After a four hour bus ride from Guadalajara, we dropped our bags off at the sweetest austrian-themed, timber cabins by a big lake called Lago de Pátzcuaro. We then took a boat to an island in the middle of the lake called Isla de Janitzio which is densely settled, still mostly by descendants of local native indians.

We had terribly overpriced lunches overlooking the lake.


This was the first sign of 'El Día de los Muertos' decorations. Everything is decorated in marigolds which hold special significance during these few days.

These are the boats to take people from the mainland to the island.
