I'm an American citizen and married to a Mexican woman, in Morelia, Michoacan. I don't know about you "risking your lives" but after two years here, I've still NEVER been approached or victimized by ANY crime. I love my life in Mexico. Assimilation, and appreciation of the culture is key. Yes, the Carnitas are GREAT as well as all the amazing Mexican food. Excellent video... VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽

in retrospect, we know there was never any real danger, but in the moment of accepting an off-the-radar ride with a stranger, it did feel like a risk. We know Michoacan is more than just the negative sensationalized news media, but one should still take precautions in life because better safe than sorry, right? Although, we definitely didn't follow that rule in this case!

Question, Do you have a job locally? I am curious to know what non mexican people do for a living

You guys are completely underappreciated. From your video work (there is so much involved in that, and you do it right. Great awareness of lighting, etc) to your editing and voice overs, and your timing and storytelling is very high quality stuff. You may be on the verge of breaking out. So...I saw your video about evaluating your life path. You do what you gotta do. But your personal story--super unique as a couple raised in the Midwest going to your roots, and being bilingual--is compelling. I'm rooting for you because I know how hard you've worked (and likely taught yourself, and consistently improved). From a fellow Midwesterner (WI) to you: Thanks for this special look at Mexico through your eyes.

In the USA, Catholicism is a religion. In Mexico it is a culture. Remember a lot of the heros of the country were priests . Hidalgo for example. To this day a lot of the people fighting for the rights of the indigenous and fighting against cartel violence are Catholic priests. I agree with you 💯 but try to look at it through their eyes as well.

Yes of course! That’s why travel is so important to us. It gives us the opportunity to see many sides of life and opens our eyes and minds rather than simply believing what we’re told. And you’re so right, Catholicism is so deeply embedded into Mexican culture, it’s definitely a part of who we are even though it’s not a central part of our identity nowadays. We’re so glad we got to experience this festival in Michoacán to see more of the good that comes from Catholicism when community is at the forefront ❤️

As a part time Uber driver in the US, I can say that long rides are generally better than short ones, but when you go completely out of town you are faced with the probability that you will be going back to town empty. I don't think Uber really accounts for that. One thing that can help with a decision in this situation is to look at the number of rides the driver has given or the length of time he has been with Uber. That info is available in the app at least in the US. Another alternative would be to leave the ride on the app but promise a tip of 50 or 100 pesos.

I believe there is frequent local bus service from Morelia. You won’t find these buses advertised online. When I went to Pátzcuaro I asked my taxi driver and he dropped me off at a major bus stop on the side of the highway on the outskirts of Morelia. Not the main bus station, which is for the fancy long range buses. I know there are local buses that also go to/from Pátzcuaro, so it might be easier to bus to Pátzcuaro first, then explore around the lake. The local buses aren’t the most comfortable, but they are an experience! Uber in Mexico is always cheaper, more comfortable, and probably safer than taxis. When I was last in Morelia I was told that Uber didn’t operate there. My hosts recommended always using a telephone taxi rather than flagging down a random car.

Las carnitas super deliciosas ahi en Quiroga (Tambien en Zamora y en la Piedad). Era una de mis paradas favoritas en mis viajes de Zamora a Morelia. No se ahora como este, pero hace como 25 anhos, muchos autobuses que viajaban de Zamora a Morelia y viceversa, hacian parada en Quiroga... Yo me bajaba ahi para comer algo mientras era hora del siguiente autobus. Claro que tambien habia autobuses que no haciand ninguna parada y esos eran mas rapidos para cuando no tenia tiempo. Por cierto, la mayoria de la gente de michoacan son buenas, calidas y amables pero es bueno no confiarse por que uno se puede topar con gente no tan buena.

Orgullo Michoacano

actually its very common in Mexico for uber and diddy drivers to ask you to pay them in cash or they wont take you. it happened to us in cabo san lucas. we just came back from morelia and one of the drivers told us that he would only take us to Patzcuaro if we paid cash.

We’ve paid drivers in cash before but would usually think twice about it in states where kidnapping is more frequent.. if we’d done our homework with time we’d probably have felt more at ease about it but it all happened so quickly!

I tried The Michoacán style (Michigan).in cuauhtémoc CDMX and it was pretty late in the day and I was under the weather but I'm guessing they're not as good as the ones you feature here

Uber? Haha, same story here. From Puebla to CDMX airport, Uber offers M$1600. Two drivers declined and the third wanted to negotiate out of app. We ended up with calling a taxi for 2400.

the best carnitas!

I am from El Salvador and was just there in March. There are so many off grid "uber drivers" bwcause they know they won't make as much $ if they sign up officially. That way theu can set their own rate and factor in if the ride will be worth their time. The drivers I had were trusted family friends though. I would NOT take a ride from a random off grid "uber driver".

First let me say good job on your videos. I am a big fan. Also taking an Uber off app is not a good idea for many reasons especially for your safety. If you felt that the driver isn’t getting paid enough you always have the option of tipping in cash. Yes it would cost you a bit more but by staying on app you are much safer. Tips are always welcomed and definitely appreciated. Stay safe!

Thanks for sharing this tip we should have just tipped extra and made sure we to make safety our priority. Definitely won't do it again and we'll make sure to be more careful next time.

Salen autobuses de Morelia a Zamora, Zacapu, Guadalajara, etc cada 15 min, todo el dia y todos pasan por Quiroga. No entiendo por qué dicen que solamente hay 2 al día. Tal vez que van únicamente a Quiroga y ahí paran.

That lady recommending Grand Central Market cracked me up, Grand Central Market is OK but it is no Mexico. It is the place you go when you miss Michoacán. Regarding the uber, sometimes what I do is I will take a short ride with an uber driver and if I like him I will offer to "rent" him for the day, usually the drivers are very happy because they get all the money and I get a cheap chofer for the day.

LOL I mean I don't think any carnitas anywhere outside of Michoacan can compare... except MAYBE Carnitas Uruapan in Chicago... 😅 Netflix just released their latest season on tacos in the USA and featured them. And if we weren't in such a hurry, we might have done that, too! poor planning on our part!

I'm gonna disagree with this one because if we're talking about the state as a whole, well some parts are dangerous while others are not
