Overview

Woke up late? No worries! This tour starts 11 AM!
The Express Tour goes direct to catch the boat ride to Janitzio island, where the local fishermen still use the famous "butterfly nets".
Enjoy free time to discover the statue of "Morelos" on top of the Island, built in 1933, which is actually higher than the Statue of Liberty in New York, USA.
In Pátzcuaro, try the local gastronomy at lunch break and watch the famous "Dance of the old men" at Main square.
You will have time to walk around downtown the cobblestone streets to the buildings of white walls & tile roofs, plus shopping handicrafts from local galleries to street vendors.
Forget about bus tours and taxi cab drivers!
Join the group tour and enjoy your time to main attractions.
