Day Tour Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary ´El Rosario´ - The largest one

Let´s visit the wonderful and unique in the world Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary ´El Rosario´.

The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is a World Heritage Site containing the over-wintering habitats of the population of the monarch butterfly. The reserve is located in the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests ecoregion on the border of Michoacán and Mexico State, 100 km (62 milles), northwest of Mexico City. Millions of butterflies arrive in the preserve annually. Butterflies only inhabit a fraction of the 56,000 hectares of the reserve from October-March. The biosphere’s mission is not only to protect the butterfly species, but it's habitat as well.

It is a steep walk uphill for about 1,5 hours; we will take it slowly to get used to the hight (3000 meters) and to enjoy the incredible views of the forest and the Monarch Butterflies (there are horses available).

It is important to pay asap 5/7 days before the date tour, to make sure we can arrange the right transport for the right amount of people.

The price is 1150 Mexican Pesos and includes private transport for the group, experienced driver, bilingual guide and entrance to the Butterfly Sanctuary.

Pick up Angel de la Independencia.
