Introducing Angahuan
Angahuan, the nearest town to Volcán Paricutín, is a typical Purépecha town: there are wooden houses, dusty streets, more horses than cars, braided women in ankle-length skirts and colorful shawls and loudspeakers booming announcements in the Purépecha tongue. Greet locals with ‘nar erandisti’ (good morning) or ‘nar chuscu’ (good afternoon).
