Centro De Lenguas Y Ecoturismo De Patzcuaro:
Pátzcuaro is a city that has the feel of a small town, where one can feel safe and secure on the streets at any hour. The people of Pátzcuaro are warm, welcoming and helpful to the tourist. It is a city of rustic colonial architecture in the midst of impressive natural beauty. Before Cortés (1517) it was the seat of the main P´urhépecha ceremonial center and a place of recreation for political and religious leaders. Now it is a beautiful small city whose irregular streets and adobe, wood and red tile architecture from the 16th Century create a charming atmosphere of harmony and peace For increased language inmersion, we recommend you consider lodging with a Pátzcuaro family, where you will have the opportunity to share two meals daily with them and enjoy an inside view of Mexican life.
The Center for Languages and Ecotours of Pátzcuaro (CELEP) is a non-profit organization whose earnings fund projects of the Center for Social and Ecological Studies (CESE).
