Patzcuaro, Michoacan is a small colonial town in the mountains of Mexico. Visiting Patzcuaro makes you feel like you take a step back in time with its 16th century churches and architecture from the Spanish colonial times. Because of its higher elevation it is significantly cooler than Ixtapa/Zihutanejo.
Tourists are recommended to bring a light sweater and pants. There are a number of local craft shops that sell locally made products of glass and wood.
Copper Town is located near Patzcuaro (about 15 minutes away.) We will see copper factories & copper galleries/museums.

Monarch Butterfly Tour/Morelia
The Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is a milkweed butterfly (subfamily Danainae), in the family Nymphalidae. It is perhaps the best known of all North American butterflies.
Since the 19th century, it has been found in New Zealand, and in Australia since 1871, where it is called the wanderer. The monarch is famous for its southward migration and northward return in summer from Canada to Mexico and Baja California which spans the life of three to four generations of the butterfly.
