Chucutitlan

Chucutitlán lies in the warm lowlands of Michoacán, between the inland basin of Apatzingán and the mountains that approach the Pacific coast. The settlement is part of a region of river valleys and rugged ridges, where the hot country contrasts with the cooler volcanic highlands to the north. In the early nineteenth century the nearby town of Apatzingán became the meeting place of the insurgent congress that issued a constitution for Mexican America.
