During the Paricutín volcano eruption in 1943, a new volcano suddenly emerged from a field in Michoacán, eventually engulfing nearby villages, including San Juan Parangaricutiro, in lava and ash. Despite the destruction, timely evacuations prevented loss of life. Today, the dormant volcano remains a notable geological site and popular tourist attraction.
