It was cold and cloudy our first day so the butterflies were clinging to the trees, but on our second day it was gloriously sunny and breezy and the perfect day to experience the magic. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the pre-Mayan archaeological wonder comes alive with your guide’s narration.
But it's not easy. The driver/guide provided by the company was not that knowledgeable but the guide that we met at the butterfly reserve was very knowledgeable.We'll reserve your spot today, and you can cancel up to two days* before your experience without making a payment.

The butterfly has long been known to travel great distances, somewhat as birds do, on a round trip keyed to seasonal changes and the reproductive cycle. But still, even if you’re over 90 you can do it! So now our trips to the see the Monarchs in Mexico are the premier authentic experience with these migrating miracles.
Going on a hike in this fantastic and magic place is a unique opportunity!
We had a fantastic tour with Pablo Carrasco from Permacultours Mercado SANO. Enjoy one of the most amazing shows in Mexico: the migration of the monarch butterfly. "Our advice is to take the horses when offered - these mountains are very high in elevation and you will definitely feel it." Even thoughAbsolutely magical.
And I'm thrilled that I went - this is the best place (IMHO) of the reserves. You will also visit beautiful colonial towns, such as Valle de Bravo in the State of Mexico. For what???? Note: It´s possible to customize the tour to +3 people. Experience an amazing natural event in Mexico: the Monarch Butterfly Migration! If you have people on the trip that are unfit and too old to walk this, by the time you are back for lunch they have not even got half the way. We will also visit the Bridal Veil waterfall , impressive waterfall that feeds the river San Juan.Then we also enjoy a walk through the streets of Valle de Bravo famous for its typical architecture, traditional and colonial.
My greatest recommendation would be Available mid-November thru mid-March. NOTE - The reserve is at 11,000 ft in elevation.
Go to the Piedra Herrada Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary, one of the most important monarch reserves in the world! Come and join us everyday to share the experience of watching not hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands, but millions of Monarch Butterfly ~ Tour of the Sanctuaries ~ hanging from the trees in just a few acres of forest.There are seven sanctuaries in Michoacán but only three are opened to the public: Rosario Sanctuary and Sierra Chincua Sanctuary, Cerro Pelón Sanctuary is shared with the neighbouring Estado de México.
Today, we will drive to Piedra Herrada to visit the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary.It is common to appreciate the Monarch Butterfly flying freely between the months of November to March . For walking by my side?This was the best tour we took! Horseback rides available at extra cost. Going on a hike in this fantastic and magic place is a unique opportunity! Can anyone reccomend a monarch butterfly tour to me? Monarch migration is a marvelously intricate pattern of behavior, baffling in many of its aspects.
