Michoacán is located in western Mexico,
and it is known for its beauty as well as
its history and culture. The state has five
UNESCO World Heritage Sites and five
Magic Towns (Pueblos Mágicos).
Two of its most precious jewels, have been
declared World Heritage by UNESCO: the
Historic Centre of Morelia, thanks to more
than a thousand buildings in the region’s
characteristic pink stone, and the Day of
the Dead Celebration in Pátzcuaro, an
indigenous tradition whose roots go back to
pre-Hispanic times.
The vibrant and varied cuisine in Michoacán
is also in the list of Intangible World Heritage,
as well as the Pirekua, a musical genre.
Beside, the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary
has been declared World Natural Heritage,
since it offers the visitor a chance to witness
a wonder of nature.
That is why Michoacán is an irresistible
place that has something special to offer for
all tastes and occasions.
Come, and discover Michoacán,
the Soul of Mexico.

Morelia
The gorgeous tourist destination has preserved
its colonial feel over the centuries. Its tranquil
streets are silent witnesses to the history that has
gathered in every corner. One of Morelia´s main
features is the cathedral, a masterpiece of pink
quarry. The Historic Center has been designated
a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
But apart from the beautiful colonial buildings,
the city also offers a modern infrastructure that
includes a Convention Center, the “Expocentro”,
and great locations and services for conventions
and all kind of events.
The ancient traditions and culture of Morelia are
display in the colorful handicrafts. The city has
many stores to browse and buy the beautiful works
of art produced in the state of Michoacán by local
artisans, or you can admire the fantastic creations
in the decoration of the restaurants and hotels.

Catedral
While in Morelia, don’t forget to try the traditional
dishes, a mixture of Purepecha and European
ingredients and recipes, such as corundas and
uchepos (regional tamales), the Tarascan soup,
the “pollo placero”, the “carnitas” (pork meat),
and the traditional “salsa de lago” (lake sauce)
made with fried “charales” (small white fish). For
candy lovers, Morelia offers a wide selection:
“chongos zamoranos” (dessert with milk, sugar
and cinnamon), ates morelianos (candied fruit),
buñuelos (small doughnut) or a “nieve de pasta”
(local ice-cream), and of course a cup of hot
handmade chocolate.
It has a warm, semi-humid climate with an average
temperature of 23ºC (73º F).
Morelia is the venue for important music and
movie festivals, a good reason to visit the city
many times.

historical monuments like the Franciscan Parish
Church that preserves part of its 16th Century walls,
