Trips and excursions
Morelia, Pátzcuaro, Uruapan and Zitácuaro
Morelia
A World Heritage site, and a gem of a colonial city where visitors can still wander the streets that have remained almost completely unchanged for centuries and where, in spite of the city’s attractions, tourism has not yet spoiled its soul. A delight for lovers of culture, of gastronomy and of art; a city that is friendly and kind to visitors, it has a unique personality and charm, and lots of little surprises for children as well as for adults.
Pátzcuaro
A walk through this magical town, full of colonial architecture and profound Indian wisdom will delight all visitors.
With its dominant cathedral, the town will surprise you every step you take, with its emblazoned houses, ancient traditions and works of art… a lot of art; museums and workshops, galleries and markets, all within easy reach.
Uruapan
Uruapan, meaning the place where everything blossoms. With a climate that is hotter and more humid than that of neighboring towns in Michoacán, Uruapan is like a great big, endless orchard, mainly of avocado trees. The river running through the city is a haven of shade and tranquility.
Zitácuaro
Zitácuaro lies in the great Oyamel or Sacred Fir forest, where every winter up to twenty million Monarch butterflies arrive to breed after a journey of more than 5,000 kilometers. Visiting the butterfly sanctuary is a unique experience. Originally the forest was inhabited by four different ethnic groups: The Otomí, the Mazahua, the Matlatzinca and the Tarascans. So when you go there, do not miss the archeological sites or the villages where they still practice the weaving techniques of the Mazahua.
