The Paricutin volcano (coordinates: 19.493, -102.251) has become a tourist attraction. Tourists often visit the ruins of the nearby town of San Juan Parangaricutiro, which was buried in volcanic rock.
The effects of the volcano when it was "born" in 1943, include three people killed, two towns with several hundred inhabitants permanently evacuated, and approximately 233 km2 (90 sq mi) of destroyed vegetation due to lava and volcanic sand. Its eruption also improved the field of vulcanology, as it was the first time a volcano life-cycle was fully documented by modern science.
