Monumento a José María Morelos - 61616 Janitzio

Beautiful and traditional city in Island to spend great time with family & friends. Must try to heights of statue to visit entire lake view. Too many shops and restaurants.

Nice. Tall. Worth the visit. Loved the 360 views from everywhere on top. The only thing i didnt like is all the vendors they allow up there.

Skip this island, it is a tourist trap. It is billed as an island populated only by indigenous people selling their artisanal crafts. Perhaps in in the past it was. Now it is an island full of your typical Mexican tourist items than can be bought anywhere and are most likely made in China, t-shirts, mugs, shot glasses, caps, etc. First you take a ferry that costs 100p per person. As you approach the island, there is a group of fisherman pretending to fish to put on a show for you. After they wave their nets around for a few seconds, a pair of "tradition" canoe looking boats, made out of fiberglass, breaks off and proceeds down either side collecting tips. The fisherman have learned that they can make more money posing for pictures than fishing. After docking you start walking up the different steep alleys, lined side to side, top to bottom with your typical tourist paraphernalia with a continual chorus of barkers trying to lure you into their shop or restaurants. At the top, for another small fee, you can pass through the gates to take in the view of the statue of Morelos. The island is just an outdoor market with nothing redeeming or authentic about it.

Very beautiful place, I recommend it to every tourist

I do love these monuments it's huge and on the top of Janitzio Island so it has an incredible view .

The view was nice but the top was a very crammed space. The whole has an additional MXN$10 entrance fee.

$100pesos the boat to Janitzio (round). $10 pesos the entrance to the monument. $50pesos my drink ? Besides the stairs to get to the top, add 6 flights of stairs to get to Morelos' fist. The walls are covered with murals and history scrips which made the climb little less intensive. The view is impressive at the top.

1st time visiting. The parking lot was large and cost 50 pesos to park. The cost of the trip (boat) was 700 pesos for a family. (There were 9 of us) Boat ride took 30 minutes to the island, and we asked them to pick us up at 6 pm. We went on a Tuesday to avoid the crowds. At the island, there are many children asking for $, which by the end of the day was just annoying at that point. There are so many shops and cute items. Once they hear you speak another language, they tend to up the price. I shopped around and looked for the lowest price since the shops tend to have the same items. 10 pesos is to get into the monument area once you arrive on top. The view was nice and overall good time.
