Piedra Herrada Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Express Day Tour, Thu, Dec 21, 2023, 8:00 AM

Discover the magnificent Piedra Herrada Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary on our exclusive express day tour. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of this World Heritage Site, renowned for its over-wintering habitats of the iconic monarch butterfly population.

Located in the enchanting Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests ecoregion, just 100 km northwest of Mexico City, the sanctuary attracts millions of butterflies annually. Witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon as the butterflies inhabit a fraction of the expansive 56,000-hectare reserve from October to March. Our mission is to safeguard not only the butterflies but also their precious habitat.

To fully experience the heart of the butterfly colony, be prepared for a moderate uphill hike lasting approximately 1.5 hours. As we ascend to 3000 to 3500 meters (9800 to 11450 feet), we'll acclimate gradually to the altitude. Comfortable shoes, warm layered clothing, and snacks are recommended.

During this unforgettable journey, we'll also explore the captivating State of Mexico, adding another dimension to your travel experience.

To secure your spot, please make the payment 7 to 10 days prior to the tour date. This ensures we can arrange suitable transport for the group. The tour fee is 1650 Mexican Pesos, covering transportation, an experienced driver, a knowledgeable tour guide, sanctuary entrance, a forest walk, and bilingual explanations in Spanish and English by certified experts.

Payment can be made via bank transfer, cash deposit at any Banamex bank branch, or cash payment at any 7 Eleven store.

Join us on this remarkable journey to uncover the hidden treasures of Mexico!
