Hotels in Michoacan, Mexico

Michoacan is a state in western Mexico along the Pacific coast, famous for its Purepecha heritage and the monarch butterfly sanctuaries east of Morelia. The climate is mild year-round, with dry winters from November to May perfect for hiking El Rosario sanctuary under 70°F (21°C) skies to see millions of butterflies, while the rainy summers from June to October bring lush hills and cheaper rates for exploring Morelia's Baroque cathedral and aqueduct. During the dry season, you can also catch the Day of the Dead festivities on Lake Patzcuaro's islands, but in the rainy season you'll find fewer crowds and greener landscapes for a budget-friendly visit.
