Tourism Guide

Carlos Alanis


I have been a tourist guide for the last 20 years in the State of Michoacán, and my passion and pride in educating and guiding tourists from all over the world is still as exciting as it was during my first year. Besides having been born in Morelia, I have deeply studied this wonderful state’s history, I also have received Certifications and Accreditations at National Levels, and continue to keep these updated, not only to support my professional development, but to offer my tourists the highest levels of professionalism and safety.

From quiet mountain villages to bustling city streets, Michoacán reveals a rhythm all its own. Each turn offers a new layer, traditions passed down for generations, flavors that linger long after the meal, and landscapes that feel timeless. Walk through markets alive with color and sound, where artisans shape stories into clay, copper, and textiles. Follow winding roads that lead to volcanic lakes, hidden valleys, and forests where silence feels sacred. In every setting, there’s an invitation to slow down and take it in, not as a rushed itinerary, but as a living experience unfolding in front of you.

Here, history is never just in museums; it breathes in the architecture, the festivals, and the everyday rituals of life. Food is more than a meal, it’s a gathering, a memory, a celebration of the land itself. Even the simplest moments, sipping coffee in a plaza, watching children play, hearing the distant bells of a cathedral, carry a sense of connection that stays with you. Michoacán is not a place you simply visit; it’s a place that leaves its mark, gently reminding you that travel isn’t about checking boxes, but about feeling part of something greater.
