Patzcuaro

We drive our moho to Zihua each year, and enjoy our couple of nights in Patzcuaro in each direction.

It's high, it's cold, and it has a lot to see and do. The surrounding area has even more. We probably have a couple of months time spent in Patzcuaro and surrounding areas, and can still spend more.

From Zihua, partly because of the extreme temperature and elevation change, 2-3 days is probably perfect for the first visit. Unless you have a particular village in mind, we suggest you simply explore Patzcuaro. A trip around the lake is overload. If you want to do something comfortable and fun, take the boat to Janicio, explore, have lunch, climb the Morelos statue/sculpture, and enjoy yourselves.

We make our living on eBay, and the shopping in Patzcuaro is wonderful. It has a cross section of the high quality crafts available in the surrounding areas. The prices are enough to make you want to buy LOTS!!!!

Where to stay? In town proper, whatever you feel good about spending.

Getting there? The double decker buses look like fun! Buses run all the time in this country. If we were riding the bus, we'd check the schedules to make sure they still run regularly, then arrive with snacks and just go with the flow!!!
