Part of the fun of Morelia Airport car rentals is having the liberty to embark on an array of awesome day trips across the Mexican state of Michoacan. Firstly, Michoacan represents the cultural center of the Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) festivities that take place November 1 with celebrations happening in practically every village, town and city. Nearby is also the colonial city of Patzcuaro with its stunning namesake lake. In the middle you will find the island of Janitzio with a 40-meter statue of José María Morelos protruding from the center. Visitors can actually enter this statue and climb to the top for some extraordinary views of the lake where fishermen use butterfly-shaped nets to catch the freshest ingredients for local cuisine. These butterfly fisherman are the same ones that appear on the 50 Mexican peso banknote.
