Hotels in Michoacan, Mexico

Michoacán, in western Mexico, has a mild climate year-round (50-75°F / 10-24°C) and is famous for monarch butterfly sanctuaries and authentic Day of the Dead celebrations. Dry winters are perfect for hiking El Rosario sanctuary's pine forests to see millions of butterflies, while rainy summers let you explore Morelia's 18th-century aqueduct and theaters. If you visit from November to March, you'll catch the butterflies clustering, and in late October you can head to Janitzio Island in Lake Pátzcuaro for candlelit boat processions honoring ancestors.
