| Ocumicho is about 2 hours from Pátzcuaro near Cocucho. Though the town appears unassuming, behind most doors are amazing workshops making ceramic and wooden hand-painted "diablo" (devil) figurines. From a re-enactment of the last supper with mermaids easting lobster, to devils sitting around playing cards, to wild figurines garnished with horns and long tongues, the whimsical art of Ocumicho is truly amazing. Feel free to explore on your own or hire a guide. |

| As you drive into town, many artisans will approach you asking you to come and see their work. We were lucky enough to be treated to a feast of homemade tortillas and fresh eggs and salsa in addition to amazing art by Apolonia Marcelo (01-423-519-9077; Obregon #87). Plus, Tomasa Gonzalez and Rutilio Pascual (01-423-519-9250; Emiliano Zapata # 15) invited us into their modest workshop/home, revealing beautiful masks and figurines made of wood and ceramics. |
