I went in 2008. I believe its about one day to LaZaro Cardenas, one day to Zitacuaro (I did an overnight bus). Zitacuaro is a cool town. I recall there being a direct shuttle from there in the high season, there's also a local bus that takes you to the entrance of the mariposa reserve. about a mile/half mile from the park. Once at the park you'll want to talk to someone, follow someone or connect with a guide. I walked around aimlessly for a long while until I found some local guide folks who knew which sectoin of the forest they were in at that time.
LC is a port city - cuidado. Michoacan has historically been a relatively dangerous place... I've heard some sketchy stories, but, seeing the butterflies made me cry. It was stunning!
