The Municipio of Cuitzeo is mostly a rural area surrounded by mountains and the lake.

Lake Cuitzeo, in the state of Michoacán, offers beautiful nature sights, a spectacular collection of flora and fauna and a slow pace to relax and unwind from all stress.

The lake has seven islands inhabited by ducks and herons. It has a perfect blend of weather, location, intimacy, tranquility and convenience.

Cuitzeo also has an interesting Plateresque-style Augustinian ex-Convent, one of the most important in the state of Michoacán.

The town of Cuitzeo, located about 5 minutes from the RV resort, offers the conveniences of small super markets,

mechanic shops, bank, doctors, dentist and medical clinics, etc.

There are many treasures to be found in this area, and we would like to invite you to come and explore this part of Mexico! We know that once you are here, you are going to really like it and want to stay a while...maybe for the season or the year.

Cuitzeo del Porvenir Pueblo Mágico

Pueblos Mágicos (Magical Towns) Program of SECTUR Mexico Ministry of Tourism

With tourism being Mexico’s third major industry, the country’s government has developed several programs to support this important, dollar-generating sector. One of them, called Pueblos Mágicos (Magical Towns), aims to increase tourism to towns that are of particular historic or religious value, or that are located near large cities or other tourist sites. As of 2006, the town of Cuitzeo del Porvenir, Michoacán, is joining the 32 “Magical Towns” already in the program.

Founded in 2001 by the Tourism Secretariat (Sectur), the Pueblos Mágicos program coordinates local, state, and federal efforts, channeling funds for diversification and improvement of the towns’ tourism infrastructure.

The idea behind this Sectur’s project is to show that Mexico is much more than just sun and beach. Converting quaint, culturally rich towns into visitor-friendly destinations, the government wants to make sure they retain their authentic Mexican charm, which is ultimately what sets them apart from other destinations.

Developing cultural tourism is the program’s primary focus, but eco-tourism, adventure tourism, and rural tourism are also taken into consideration for development projects.

It’s not easy to become a Pueblo Mágico, but once a town is chosen to participate in the program, it receives multi-level support, including funds for modernization of tourism-related businesses such as handicraft shops and restaurants, as well as for development and production of promotional materials for advertising. Improvements to the roads and highways around Pueblos Mágicos and the assurance that the hotels and other establishments within the towns provide the highest level of service are also on the task list.

One of the program’s most important challenges is to maintain the town’s historical accuracy throughout the modernization process, and because of that all participating towns must comply with architectural and visual guidelines. Thanks to the government’s investment, coordinated by Sectur, the Mexico Ministry of Tourism, http://www.sectur.gob.mx/, 32 Mexican towns already have the status of Pueblos Mágicos and are already benefiting from the program’s efforts to boost tourism and restore the original, cultural beauty.

The current Pueblos Mágicos with their dates of incorporation into the program are:

Cuitzeo is developing the tourist industry with the protection of the natural resources in mind, which is why all the activities are eco-friendly.

Cuitzeo is perfect for the RV lifestyle!!
