Nestled in a ravine, Angangueo meanders between wooded hills. It is precisely here, in the mountains that surround it, where millions of monarch butterflies gather every winter. Between November and March, Angangueo becomes the epicenter of the extraordinary natural spectacle of the monarch migration, which is well worth a visit to the sanctuaries of Sierra Chincua and El Rosario.

This Magical Town looks magnificent from above, and several viewpoints such as the one at the Capilla de la Misericordia offer spectacular views of this picturesque town. From the top you can see the uneven plot of the town that follows the mountain, with its narrow streets and its solemn adobe houses with large patios. A town that was a miner, a town of wealth and tragedy, whose people built mansions with colorful facades and flowers on the balconies. Peaceful, friendly and warm place towards the visitor.

The temple of the Immaculate Conception and the Parish of San Simón Celador compete for prominence. The first, the village temple. The second, the temple erected by the wealthiest family, such was the wealth that these mines generated. In the middle, a delicious parade ground with a kiosk surrounded by portals. The Mineros de Angangueo Secondary School also tells us about the mining past of Angangueo, with an extraordinary mural by Arturo Estrada, a disciple of Frida Kahlo. At the rear of the Parroquia, another mural —this time in the open air— by Jorge Téllez tells the story of this small town that has not lost its magic over the years.
