HOW TO GET FROM MEXICO CITY TO MORELIA (AND BACK)


	BY BUS

  At the bus station "Observatorio" in Mexico City (there are several
bus stations in Mexico City, this one is to the
west of the city), take a non-stop ("directo") bus to Morelia. 
Many lines run between Mexico City and Morelia.
We usually use the ETN line. The trip takes about 4 hours.
Once you arrive to the Morelia bus station take an official taxi
asking to be taken to "Instituto de Astronomia, en el campus de la UNAM,
despues del FIRA". For more details, the UNAM campus is 
on kilometer 8 of the Old Road from Morelia to Patzcuaro.
The taxi will take about 20-25 minutes to get to the campus.
At the entrance to the Campus there is a gate and the guard will
direct you to the Astronomy building.

	BY CAR

  From Mexico City you drive to Toluca on a toll road.
Once in Toluca you go to Atlacomulco and from there to
Maravatio. Finally, from Maravatio you drive to Morelia
(see map). The trip takes about 4 hours. Entering to
Morelia follow the map. It is easy to get lost in Morelia,
so phone the Instituto if in trouble.
