You can see a picture from the inside (the altar region) here:

I grew up near Michoacan and used to ride to the Paricutin at least once a year (on our way to Patzcuaro). Definitely worth the couple of hours, if one is visiting.
Here’s another one of the tower:

The pictures are from our holidays in 2006 (moved to Europe in 2000).

Wow imagine when the next intelligent species on Earth finds this town in the rock after we have evolved to become like more evolved and discapeared (as evolved super humans do). What will they think?
Apart from time for lunch.
