Private Travel Throughout Central Mexico
This 10-day Central Mexico itinerary takes you along to markets, mining villages, volcanoes and parks, with the trip ending on the Pacific Coast for beach relaxation.
Begin in Morelia, a city with wide avenues, parks and pink-stone carefully restored colonial-era buildings. Outside Morelia is Uruapan, with historical churches and cathedrals, and artwork from Michoacan artists can be seen throughout the city. You’ll also have the chance to visit National Park Eduardo Ruiz, the only national park in Mexico, through which runs the crystal-clear Cupatizio River. After these visits head to the Paricutin Volcano, which buried a village in 1943; you can still see the church spire emerging from the lava field.
Continue to Patzcuaro, home to amazing artisans, colonial architecture, and a charming central plaza. Set in the rolling valleys of Michoacan, Patzcuaro is the perfect destination to shop for handicrafts, explore the city and enjoy fine Mexican cuisine. Santa Clara del Cobre is a copper mining town, where copper handicrafts are created by multi-generational families – you can visit the workshops behind the shops.
Finally, end your trip on the Pacific Coast, at the Tides Zihuatanejo, where you’ll have access to a private beach and full luxury amenities.
