Patzcuaro Michoacan Mexico
	Santa Clara del Cobre (copper)  is a small town just minutes up the hill behind Patzcuaro.  We took a short 2 hour tour of the town and visited these 2 smelters,   The first one was solely for decoration in the back of a store.   The second was really working but very small compared to some copper foundries away from downtown.  Back to Patzcuaro Index
