About the Country |
About the City | |
|
|
Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico's people and geography. Over 50 different Indian Groups, each with its own language
comprise 28% of Mexico's 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the
country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts and isolated villages.

Located about 4 hours from either Mexico City or Guadalajara, Morelia is a university city with about 80.000 students studying at one of
the four universities. Despite its size (population 800,000), the city is fairly compact with everything of interest within walking distance
of the central plaza. A climate of perpetual spring makes Morelia a nice destination.
