How to get out Morelia
Morelia is an excellent gateway city for cultural and outdoor adventures throughout the state of Michoacan.
Monarch Butterfly Reserves: Millions of monarch butterflies descend on the forests of Michoacan each November and leave for their northward migration around March. There are at least 10 designated butterfly reserves within a 4-hour drive of Morelia. Tours can be arranged through hotel concierges. Hiring a private guide with a late-model sedan for an individual trip will cost about 2,000 pesos for a very full day for up to 3 people.
As of October 29th 2011, the lady at my hostel told me that the reserves doesnt open until November 15
Patzcuaro: The quaint, tranquil, artistic town of Patzcuaro is an easy 1-hour bus ride from Morelia. It is worth spending quite a bit of time getting to know. It is the center of Mexico's "Day of the Dead" tradition, and is one of the great centers for finding authentic popular arts pieces.
