Or does one have to attend her cooking school? Mexico awarded her the Azteca Award something that is not treated lightly.

The toll road is the way to go, and in a motorhome, it's 4.5 hours from Playa la Ropa to Patzcuaro. The road is in good condition.

Uruapan has Paricutin, a fabulous volcano, outside of town, and a National Park, right in town.

There is so much to see everywhere in Mexico, just check the online sources.

If you have time, do the drive around the lake visiting the different villages. We had a guided tour which is really needed for we were taken to the artisans homes where they work. Most of the known ones have their studio in their home not along the road through the towns. One village is known for it's wood carving, another products from palm leaves, another for products made from the reeds from the lake and another for pottery. We really enjoyed going to the homes of the artisans. In the first village Kathie bought a beautiful carved Virgin Mary. The village all the way around the lake on the way back to Patzquaro, Kathie bought a vase that the artisan signed of the History of Patzquaro. We cherish these items from our visit to Patzquaro and keep them out in our home to be able to enjoy them.

Not too far downstream from Uruapan are the waterfalls at Tzararacua. It's a fairly long and steep hike to the bottom, but I elected to rent a horse with a guide. the cost was 100.00 Pesos.

The drive is very scenic in some places- some of my favourite scenery! Be sure to stop in Uruapan for a stroll through the lovely national park with all the waterfalls.

Hello- I will be driving to Patzcuaro for a midwifery conference the weekend of April 23 and 24th. I traveling with my 12 year old son, and we have room in our mini van for a couple more people if anyone would like to ride along and help pay for gas. Leaving and returning times are flexible.

Also- for anyone who has made this drive, any recommendations on routes? Or things to see along the way? Thanks so much!
