Apaseo el Grande

As you walk along its cobblestones, you will discover the magic of a place that the Purepecha baptized as Apatzeo - “Yellow Flower”, “Yellow Water”, “Limestone Prominence” or “Place where the apatzecuas bloom” - and which, according to historian Vicente Rivapalacio, means “Place of Apatzis” or “Place of Weasels”.”

Every corner beats with history: from the majestic Palacio de Herrera, the famous “Casa del Águila” or “Casa de los Perros”, an exquisite baroque exponent of the 18th century, to the imposing Columna del Ayuntamiento, a work of craftsmen from El Pueblito (1883), which today guards the Plaza Juárez with the figure of Miguel Hidalgo.

Apaseo el Grande is not only an architectural heritage: it is the cradle of charrería, a sport that is celebrated with passion in every rider and every lazo, and is home to artisanal cheeses -goat, sheep and cow- that exude creaminess and tradition on your palate.

Let its haciendas, temples and chapels invite you on a sensory journey: experience the warmth of its people, let yourself be enveloped by its legends and discover why Apaseo el Grande blossoms with every visit. We are waiting for you with open arms!”
