Questions

Before you buy

What exactly do I get?

A PDF file. Your download link appears as soon as payment completes, is emailed to you, and stays available from the Orders page of your account.

Can I use it on my phone without a connection?

Yes. Once downloaded, the PDF opens in any PDF reader on a phone, tablet or computer with no connection needed, and it prints cleanly if you prefer paper.

How current is it?

This edition was last updated in September 2026. Opening hours, prices and transport schedules change, so confirm anything time-sensitive before you rely on it.

What if it is not what I needed?

Every guide is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Request a refund within 30 days of purchase.

How is this different from the free Michoacán pages on opentravelguide.com?

The guide is built from the same research. The website is free and organised by topic for browsing; the guide puts it into one downloadable document arranged for planning and using on the trip.
