Go horseback riding in the Paricutín’s lava fields, Mexico
The hamlet of San Juan Parangaricutiro in Michoacán was almost entirely engulfed by a cataclysmic volcanic eruption in 1943.
Today, all that survives of the original village is the top half of the old church, its tower rising dramatically from the black, cracked lava fields that form the slopes of the young volcano of Paricutín.
Riding to the spectral church on horseback from the nearby village of Angahuan is an unforgettable experience.
