Hiking in Ejido Jamuquén

From time to time, leaving from Patzcuaro, we hike in the large Ejido Jamuquén with the required permission of the Comisariado, who likes to accompany us with the Vigilante. One first passes under the cuota to Morelia, to the south of Pátzcuaro. The Vigilante has spent his whole life in these woods, riding and walking, and as a boy hunted for his father’s lost cattle. He entertains us with endless stories and points out landmarks, springs, plants and wildlife. He is a colorful character, part of a passing era.
