Erongarícuaro, which means "Place of waiting" in the Purepecha language, is a town in the Mexican state of Michoacán.

It is located about an hour drive to Morelia or Uruapan and just 25 minutes from the famous colonial town of Pátzcuaro.

It consists of largely one-story adobe or plaster-over-brick buildings with red tile roofs.

The nieve (ice cream), sold in shops on the plaza, is a delightful treat.

Food in the evening would be atole (hot beverage) with buñuelos (light fried pastries) or tamales.
