Pátzcuaro day of the dead

I can't imagine any reason in the world to be more concerned about your safety in Morelia than wherever you're coming from. It's a marvelous city full of cultural riches and plenty of warm friendly people.

I would imagine your lodging can match you up with a competent and knowledgeable local guide.

We suggest you taxi from the airport to the bus station, and bus to Patzcuaro. With the heavy traffic, you will be much happier on a bus. There are lots, they run regularly, and there are several classes. Much less expensive, too!

Suggest you join the Michoacan_net Yahoo Group and post your queries there.

There's an ongoing thread (active today) about taxi fares from the Morelia Airport to Patzcuaro.

HTH,

D.D.

We have flown into Morelia on a direct flight from O'Hare(there was a discount air line that flew from Midway) a couple of times. Very small airport and the Taxi Union has the air port locked up like in "Z"- our driver had to pick us up in his wife's car and he was still given a hard time because of doing tours using his taxi. One time we stayed in Morelia at a B&B and had a taxi/tour guide give us a tour of the small towns between Morelia and Patzquaro and the 2nd time did the butterfly reserve. For the Day of the Dead it may be very hard to get hotel reservations unless you have them. There is so much to see in the Old part of Morelia- we love both with Morelia has more to offer. When flying into Morelia, we take the 7 am express to "Z" and can get off in Ixtapa.
