Los Azufres is a well known vacation spot in central Mexico. Located in Michoacan near the Cerro San Andres, Los Azufres is “under developed” in the sense that no large hotel chains have set up business there, for now. Among the noted places to stay are Club Tejamaniles, Los Azufres Spa Natural and Laguna Larga (for photos of Laguna Larga click here).
The main roadway into Los Azufres is a two lane road tucked in pine tree forests that curves and turns with the landscape. There is quite a bit of precipitation and the climate is much cooler than the surrounding areas. The Comision Federal de Electricidador CFE (the government owned electric company) runs all the geothermal electric plants in Los Azufres. Kaolin dots the road side and it is very easy to get close to small geysers. It is an ideal family vacation spot but can be perfect for couples or groups as well. Most hotels offer camp grounds or cabins for rent. The area is also well known for the fresh trout fisheries where you can pick your fish and have it prepared to your liking. Los Azufres, in general is calm and refreshingly unchanged by people. It is definitely worth the while to visit!
