Tócuaro

Tócuaro is a small lakeside village west of Pátzcuaro known for carved wooden masks, especially the fierce and comic faces used in regional dances. It is not a polished attraction; the point is to visit workshops and see a craft tradition still tied to local fiestas.

Go with patience and some Spanish, or arrange a driver who knows which workshops are open. If you are buying, remember that the best masks are individual pieces, not identical souvenirs.
