Angangueo
Angangueo is nestled in a high wooded range and has been declared a “Magical Village” for its cultural and natural riches. Founded in 1792, the Mineral de Angangueo served as one of the main mining centers of the country, providing rich natural resources of gold, silver, copper and lead, leading to growth in the region.
