Daily excursions and tours in the Michoacan state from Patzcuaro
Jorge Mendez is a federal guide who lives in Patzcuaro, Michoacan. Discover with him the beautiful colonial cities of Morelia, Patzcuaro and Uruapan, and the areas around the Patzcuaro and Zirahuen lakes.

Jorge will be happy to guide you through the highlights of Michoacan, from stunning colonial cities to indigenous villages around the Patzcuaro and Zirahuen lakes, accompany you on a canoe tour around the lake islands, and introduce you to the local people and the traditional cuisine, so that you can make the most of your trip.

Jorge will give you a lot of information about the pre-Hispanic and colonial history of the Michoacan area while taking you to the archaeological sites (do not miss the amazing ruins of Tzintzuntzan), and guiding you through the various museums in Patzcuaro, Uruapan, Morelia, and in the other villages in the region. He can also give you good tips about your shopping, take you the best local artisans, and show you all the typical product of the region (the famous Michoacan pottery and wooden masks, the copper cookwares of Santa Clara de Cobre, the wicker baskets of Tzintzuntzan, the guitars of Paracho, and some other beautiful local handcrafts).

You can arrange from a daily excursion from Patzcuaro to a tour of several days to the region's highlights.
Tours of a few days can start also from Morelia or from other destinations, where Jorge will be glad to meet you.
Jorge charges his services by the hour and you will be able to design your itineraries according to your needs and interests.

We can also design a package for you including one of our suggested accommodation in the area, with options from budget to top class.

Jorge speaks English, French, and some Italian.
