Paricutín is considered a "monogenetic volcano," meaning it was formed in a single eruptive event and is not expected to erupt again in the future. The volcano erupted on February 20, 1943, and locals witnessed its birth in a cornfield.
Today, the volcano and the remains of the destroyed towns are major tourist attractions. The ruins of the Church of San Juan Parangaricutiro, partially buried by lava, stand as a powerful reminder of the unique volcanic activity that occurred in this area.
The volcano is commemorated annually on February 20, marking the anniversary of its first eruption.
