Janitzio Island:

Isla de Janitzio, is the main island of the Patzcuaro lake in the State of Michoacan.
This picturesque island is found 20 minutes away from the dock. Its name means "corn hair". On its top, a 40 meter high monument was erected in memory of the general Don Jose Maria Morelos y Pavon. In its interior, the painter Ramon Alva de la Canal stamped the life of the hero. The indigenous community, that inhabits it, has conserved in great part the authenticity of its costumes, such as the vigil of the Night of the Dead, ceremony in which the fishermen come out with their butterfly-form nets and boats lighted up with candles.
