Island of Pacanda

In Purépecha, the name of this island with a prime spot in the middle of Pátzcuaro’s lake means “to push something into the water.” The island has a small lake on it that is home to ducks, cranes, and carp. Likewise, it retains its traditional architecture and an air of serenity that lends itself to relaxation and enjoying nature. You can walk or bike around town to experience the local culture up close.
