Day Tour Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary ´El Rosario´ - The largest one, Sat, Feb 8, 2025, 6:30 AM

Join us for a breathtaking journey to the renowned Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary 'El Rosario', an unparalleled natural wonder.

The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, serving as a crucial overwintering habitat for millions of monarch butterflies. Nestled within the stunning Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt's pine-oak forests at the border of Michoacán and Mexico State, this reserve is located approximately 100 kilometers (62 miles) northwest of Mexico City. Every year, countless butterflies flock to this sanctuary from October through March, occupying only a small fraction of the expansive 56,000 hectares of protected land. The reserve's mission focuses on the conservation of both the butterfly species and their vital habitats.

The trek to the sanctuary involves a challenging uphill walk lasting about 1.5 hours. We will take it at a leisurely pace to acclimatize to the elevation of 3000 meters, while soaking in the stunning views of the forest and the enchanting Monarch Butterflies. Horse rentals are also available for those who prefer a different way to navigate the terrain.

To ensure we can arrange adequate transportation for all participants, it's essential to secure your payment 5 to 7 days prior to the event.

The cost for this unforgettable experience is 1250 Mexican Pesos, which includes private transportation for the group, a knowledgeable driver, a coordinator, and entry into the Butterfly Sanctuary.

We will meet for pickup at Angel de la Independencia.
