La Huacana
Múgica · ranchos, cattle, and arpa grande
A land of ranchos and cattle, of golden afternoons and arpa grande music. Here lie the roots of the López family and the childhood of grandfather Salvador.
Room of the village
The Kitchen
The comal, the clay pots, and the café de olla. The heart of the house: the recipes that are still cooked today come from here.

The Afternoon of the Arpa Grande
Under the parota tree, the arpa grande fills the air. In La Huacana, music is played as a family and danced in the patio.
Soon: the family's voice will live here.

The Milpa and the Cattle
Rancho life is measured in seasons: planting, harvest, and the cattle that return to the corral at dusk. [FAMILY: what did the family plant?]

The Land and Its Names
These hills, these waters, and many of the town's names come from before: the Purépecha people cared for this land for centuries, and their heritage lives on in maize, clay, and language.

Lupita · The girl of the trunk
Which branch of the family are you from? Choose below and I'll show you your places. And if you don't know yet, we can explore together too.
Perfect! Let's explore the whole village: the ranchos, the plaza, the orchards — even the road north. I'll let you know when we find something about the family.
Ah, the López family! Your people are from La Huacana: ranchos, cattle, and arpa grande afternoons. Grandfather Salvador was born here; look, I marked your places with a golden glow.
The Duarte family! Your people are from Ario de Rosales: orchards, market days, and church bells. Grandmother Herlinda grew up here; look, I marked your places with a green glow.
The branch that joined the two towns! Your trail begins at Salvador and Herlinda's wedding and passes through both houses. I marked everything that is yours.
Hello! I'm Lupita, and I grew up in these towns in the 1950s. I'll walk you through the streets, the ranchos, and the roads. Every place you visit leaves a stamp in your trunk.
