Puruándiro

It is believed that Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla spent a night in Puruándiro during his revolutionary movement and that in 1965 President Gustavo Díaz Ordaz paid a visit to commemorate its founding.

The latter holds a bust dedicated to José María Morelos, an insurgent soldier in the Mexican war of independence.

[citation needed] The "Los Arcos" thermal waters spa is one of the most notable tourist attractions in town.

Many people take advantage of this water (which is rich in minerals such as sulfur) to bathe, wash clothes or simply relax by soaking in it.

According to the 1990 General Population and Housing Census, 213 people who speak Purépecha live in the municipality, of whom 106 are men and 107 are women.
