We have been throughout Michoacan. Our family lives in Michoacán. My husband and i visited Morelia and lived there for a month in August. I felt safe and even walked alone. Morelia is like my favorite city in Mexico. It’s so beautiful

Just back to USA, spent 9 nights in Morelia as a solo traveler. Rented a vehicle and drove to Quiroga, and Patzcuaro. Completely safe in all areas. The rental car had a budget sticker on it, so it was easy to see I was a visitor. I don’t speak Spanish. I had a great time, and the people are very friendly. I never felt uncomfortable. The food is fantastic, and Morelia is the most beautiful city I have ever seen. Don’t worry, go visit, you will be fine.

Nice video. I’m from Baltimore and I’m traveling to Morelia in a few weeks by myself. I’m renting a car and traveling to a few cities within a couple of hours of Morelia. I have been to Mexico five times by myself, and never any problems at all. I don’t speak Spanish, other than to be polite and order food. Being humble, polite and respectful goes a long way. Living in fear is not really living. I’ll update with a post upon my return. Thanks again for the informative video.

I love Morelia and can't wait to return, My friend and I never felt unsafe and found the people of Morelia very friendly.

When we lived in Morelia we felt safe however we noticed that things were starting to change a couple years ago when we left, more graffiti for sure. The generation that started building the palace wasn't around to see it finished. You did a great job presenting the beauty of Morelia. -Marc

Michoacan as a whole has always been painted as a notoriously unsafe state due to the drug trade, but it was refreshing to see you both frame the city's essence in a very fair and real light. My father is from Michoacan, and we used to travel to his rancho every Christmas. This is Andres by the way, glad to see you are both staying COMMITTED to the YouTube game.

I live in Morelia, I've been here for the past 13 years, I've always felt perfectly safe, no different to any other Mexican city. The issues with Michoacan are really only concentrated in Tierra Caliente, Morelia is relatively far from that area.

Me encantó como no solo dan a conocer los lugares más distintivos de Morelia, si no también investigan y dan a conocer varios datos culturales interesantes de nuestro estado. <3 Great job guys! :)

I was born in Chicago and raised in Morelia Michoacán, i came back to Chicago 6 years ago but i still go visit my family every year. It’s a really nice city

I love Michoacán with all the history, food, architecture, people, and weather. I actually have some Purepecha genes according to my DNA test which was great to find out because I became fascinated with the Purepechas and how they were never defeated by the Aztecs.

Thank you for sharing this video I’m about to hit the shower cause y’all reminded me about “se bañan” haha thanks.

I love this video! My family is from Michoacan, and I've always wanted to visit but wasn't sure how safe it is. Gazpacho is so good! My grandma said that the story goes as to how the name came about when, once in a fruit store, when the fruit was chopped into big pieces, an old man came to buy fruit. However, he had a problem with his teeth because he only had a few. Then the old man asked the owner of the place for a favor. He said, “Please chop the fruit into little pieces because I can’t eat it in big pieces.” So the man chopped the fruit and put it in a glass with some orange juice. That’s how the old man always returned to buy the same fruit. One time the man asked his name. It was Gaspar, and for that reason, the name is Gazpacho. Not sure how accurate or true that is, but that's what she explained. She's from Morelia and so were her parents :)

This video is a fantastic overview of Morelia. Along with the Morelia film festival video, this really makes me want to visit the city! As far as safety goes, sometimes a reputation can be an overgeneralisation - for example here in Europe many people consider Chicago extremely dangerous to visit...

In regard to safety in Mexico, being an American/Canadian living in Canada, many Canadians are hesitant to travel to American city-centres: crime-ridden, deserted, etc.
I studied in Mexico, and gave travelled to many cities! I feel safer in almost any city in Mexico than Baltimore, Cleveland, downtown Buffalo; my hometown, and even parts of Toronto! Of course, you have to know your surroundings.

Great video! You guys are adorable. Not editing every tiny mistake made it feel more natural and personal. Great job! 💛

[malcolmnicoll]

Great video. I've traveled extensively abroad and have rarely felt endangered or unsafe. Morelia looks like an amazing, wonderful place to retire. Thanks for posting.

[ronaldoago-go]

Glad I stayed for the bloopers..you guys are normally so polished it’s nice to see some flubs! Keep up the good work...very nice informative video...Morelia remains on my shortlist.

Great video. I really appreciate the closed captioning as it really helps me with learning Spanish. It seems so much easier to learn when I can see the Spanish word in the closed caption while simultaneously hearing your pronunciation. Then I always get the bonus of both of you describing what you are talking about in English. 

The brief safety conversation at the end of the video was perfect. You should consider possibly doing that at the end of each video since it seems to be a concern for many people. I really felt that I wouldn’t have an issue visiting Morelia taking into consideration your safety tips.

Que buen video yo vivo en morelia a 5 minutos del centro, me alegra que les guste y en cuestión de seguridad la verdad si le están echando ganas, se puede sentir que va mejorando mucho y tengo fe que en un futuro será lo mejor posible. ✌

Laughed very hard with our connection of Michoacán to Michigan. Over decades I've joked with my patients from Michoacan who have come to Michigan to work --- "De Michoacan a Michigan", and it even sounds more similar when using the hard "ch" in Spanish. Now, I'm finally going to go to Michoacan.
