Flor de Canela is a tourism agency specialized in the responsible promotion of cultural and ecological tourism in the state of Michoacán, Mexico. The origin of Flor de Canela is based on the passion to share the beauty and cultural wealth of Michoacán. We are a team of people deeply in love with our state: its nature, its towns, its vibrant capital, its vast cultural diversity, its crafts, its gastronomy, recognized as a world heritage site, and, above all, its people. The members of this initiative have diverse interests and academic backgrounds, which is reflected in our tourist offer. This is distinguished by offering a closer and more human experience, giving travelers a deep connection with the destination. Our mission is to serve those who seek an alternative to mass tourism, those travelers who want to know an authentic Morelia and Michoacán, from a humanistic perspective that promotes values such as empathy, social responsibility and sustainability.
Let's walk through the heart of Morelia together.
We will begin our tour at one of the most emblematic monuments of the city: the imposing Cathedral of Morelia . We will discover its fascinating history, explore its majestic façade and delve into the most relevant details of its interior.
Next, we will head to Plaza Juarez to discover its secrets. To one side is Plaza de los Mártirez, a vibrant and lively place frequented by the people of Morelos. From there, we will visit the Museo Casa Natal de Morelos , one of the main heroes of the Independence of Mexico.
We will continue our tour to the first building founded in Morelia, the city originally known as Valladolid , and explore some of the most significant temples and former convents in the city, today the Casa de las Artesanías.
Along the way, we will also visit; an old 18th century mansion with its Arabic art, the Ocampo Theatre, the Colegio de San Nicolás , the Clavijero Palace, the traditional Sweets Market , and one of the unmissable temples , Las Rosas , where a 17th century altarpiece made of gold leaf is kept inside.
Local culture is expressed in every corner.
This tour promises to be a unique immersion in the culture, tradition and history of Morelia.
I'll be right at the main door of the Cathedral, wearing a black t-shirt with the company logo and carrying a green umbrella.
