The state of Michoacán is full of natural and culturally rich spots that are well taken care of by public and private institutions that ensure good ecological use. In parallel with our residency and internship sessions, we often assist participants in coordinating local visits in the area, such as hikes to the Monarch butterfly sanctuaries, hot springs, colonial towns and the beautiful Michoacan beaches.
