ISLA JANITZIO

 
 

After leaving Santa Clara del Cobre we went to Lake Patzcuaro to visit the island of Janitzio

 

 

The ride across the lake and the visit to the island is a popular weekend activity for the locals

 

 

There was entertainment aboard the boat

 

 

Children fished with their miniature versions of the "butterfly nets" used by the native population

 

 

The local fishermen demonstrated their ancient techniques for us

 

 

 

   
 

The island was a colorful place to spend an afternoon

 

 

There were demonstrations of native dances as well as shops and restaurants
