Day tour exploring Piedra Herrada Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and Valle de Bravo, Sun, Dec 24, 2023,...

Join us on an unforgettable adventure as we explore the breathtaking Piedra Herrada Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and the charming town of Valle de Bravo (Pueblo Mágico). This day tour will be filled with natural wonders and cultural delights.

Immerse yourself in the magic of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, a designated World Heritage Site that serves as a sanctuary for these magnificent creatures. Located in the awe-inspiring Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt pine-oak forests ecoregion, just 100 km (62 miles) northwest of Mexico City, this reserve is home to millions of butterflies that arrive annually. From October to March, the butterflies inhabit a fraction of the reserve's vast 56,000 hectares, seeking ideal conditions for their survival. The biosphere's mission is not only to protect the butterfly species but also their precious habitat.

Please note the following practical information:

• To reach the heart of the butterfly colony, we will embark on a rewarding uphill walk that takes approximately 1.5 hours. The location of the colony changes every night as the butterflies search for the perfect conditions. Be prepared for an elevation of 3000 to 3500 meters (9800 to 11450 feet), but don't worry, we'll take it slow to acclimate to the altitude.
• Comfortable shoes or walking shoes are highly recommended, as well as warm clothes in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. Don't forget to bring some sweet and salty snacks to keep you energized, along with water to stay hydrated throughout the journey.

During this trip, we will delve into the wonders of the State of Mexico, exploring its natural and cultural treasures.
