Overview

Well I will list some differences in my experience this is from October 31st and November 1st.It is important to clarify that the day that only the pantheons are illuminated is the 1st to dawn on the 2nd do not be fooled.On the 2nd there is nothing at night.No boat service after 6 pm
We visit Janitzio at night
Very few tours take you to the experience of participating in the procession of the monuments
Very few invite you to make an offering to show respect
I've never read that someone is carrying sweets for you to give away. It's not the cost. It's the detail.
We try to leave you as close to where we are going
The coordinator's always gonna be watching wherever we go, he's gonna be accompanying them.
We are attentive to any need you require
We carry terminal in case they require cash

Well, we begin our tour of one of the magical villages that the state counts. Quiroga is a gastronomic, artisanal and commercial stop. He is well known for his elaboration of the carnitas. We will visit a souvenir shop if you want to bring any souvenirs from your visit. We will start to see decorations alluding to the holidays

Isla Pacanda

We will arrive at this small jetty to move on an incredible boat trip through a part of Lake Patzcuaro to reach one of these islands

Santa Clara del Cobre

1h 30m

We will arrive in this magical town where its greatest virtue is the elaboration of crafts based on hammered copper ́we will enter a craft workshop to see and appreciate the work that the artisans do. We will also visit the national museum of hammered art. I take the opportunity to invite you to try the famous toast cakes a delicious exotic but very good that you do not stop trying

Patzcuaro

The artisan technician in its main square is one of the attractions for this date We can not stop visiting the house of the 11 yards Temple of the Sacrament Former Jesuit convent The Basilica of Patzcuaro And don’t forget to try pasta snow which is a delight And by this date you’ll find one with a dead bread flavour

Morelia

On Saturday, October 31, the lighting of the Morelia Cathedral will take place. Is on slides with music last year was the song of La llorona de Ángela Aguilar and with pyrotechnic games. Last year near the cathedral in the temple of San Francisco that is about 5 minutes away there was a projection in mapping on the facade of the former convent I hope that this year they will do it again so that you can appreciate it

Day 2: Walking among catrinas, wooden horses, angels and spirits waking

9 stops
Meals: breakfast

Iratzio

Let’s have breakfast so we can have energy for the whole day

Capula

We visited the catrina fair. Before entering the fair we will stop to take a picture of the memory in the monumental catrina that is at the entrance of the village. Let's walk inside the are where we precede a wide variety of catrinas

Tupataro

A real hidden gem in a small community. Altarpiece covered with gold leaves. His 33 archangels who see us from heaven. And the greatest thing you'll ever find out. Outside in your plaza will probably already be decked out for

Cuanajo

The legend of wooden horses. In this community the main offering that is placed is a wooden horse adorned with fruit flowers breads. Let's tell the legend why they use it

Zurumútaro

Here we will see some graves that are adorned for the girls' soiree

Tzintzuntzan

Let's go Procession of the monuments of the deceased during this year their families take to the streets dancing to address the former convent Ceremonial centre where the temple was and palace of the purépechas where sometimes there are activities in this place Two pantheons Here we will have the opportunity to see them daylight and already illuminated throughout their show Preparation of offering During the time I have made the Tour we always make an offering in some abandoned tomb of the pantheon with a token of respect. We brought flowers, bread and candles to place them is included Skull for children We carry some sweets to give to children and very common that children go out to order sweets for their skull or money but better give them some sweets that we carry included

Arocutin

For me one of the most spectacular pantheons where you can see in its splendour the celebration as it was done centuries ago. Here the young people of the community come out to ring all night the bells of the small chapel that is in the centre of the village

Isla Janitzio

4h
Admission ticket included

We are going to the general jetty of Patzcuaro to move in a boat headed for Janitzio. I think the most important experience is realised. We are approaching the island and we will see what the island looks like once a year. We will climb into its famous pantheon to appreciate one of the places where for many people it is the most striking

Morelia (Pass by)

We arrived at Morelia Cathedral and with that we concluded our service
