Overview
The multi‑year “Plan Michoacán por la Paz y la Justicia” continues to drive visitor growth, building on the 300 million‑peso investment announced in June and the summer‑season marketing push launched in late July. The state tourism board highlights the Paricutín volcano, guided hikes from Angahuan, the San Juan Parangaricutiro temple ruins, Uruapan’s Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park and its new cable‑car, and Morelia’s UNESCO‑listed colonial centre. Recent promotions have featured the ten Pueblos Mágicos, the Barrio Mágico of San Pedro, mushroom festivals in Morelia and the State of Mexico, and the “Guardianes del Camino” road‑assistance service on fifteen key routes.
In late July the state announced a modern aerial cable‑car system for Morelia, linking 65 neighbourhoods through seven stations and integrating with the existing Morebús network. Expected to serve over 18,000 homes and improve mobility for thousands of residents and visitors, the project is presented as part of a broader effort to modernise urban transport and promote inclusive, sustainable mobility in the capital.
These coordinated tourism, cultural, and infrastructure initiatives aim to diversify offerings, support local producers—including women mushroom gatherers—and enhance accessibility, generating economic benefits for families throughout Michoacán and neighboring regions.
