How to get around Patzcuaro
Communal vans and buses ply between town, the railway station and the ferry landing. And taxis are widely available. Most of Patzcuaro is accessible by foot, however, and even the 3-km (2-mile) walk to the lake is pleasant if you´re reasonably fit.
The most flexible way to see the surrounding area is by renting a car. But riding the frequent, local buses connecting Patzcuaro, Morelia and the surrounding villages gives you a deeper appreciation of day-to-day life here.
