Mario Castillo - Presencias
The pictures presented here were taken between 1990 and 1994. Some of them are from a picturesque small town called Angahuan, in the state of Michoacan, located 332 miles south of Mexico City. Although best known for its proximity to the area where the volcano Paricutin erupted in 1943, Angahuan's real beauty and charm resides in its people. As heirs of the ancient Tarascan culture, theirs is one of the Mexican regions, which have best preserved its pre-Hispanic costumes, traditions and native language Purepecha. Their houses, or "trojes", are mostly made of adobe with tejamanil (shingles) to protect them from the raw winters of the sierra - the mountains. Walking the streets one is given the impression of living in ancient times, in another Mexico. Here, time stands still, preserving its beauty for the world to know.
