Description

The Monarch Butterfly Sanctuaries are located in the eastern part of the state of Michoacán. We will travel from Morelia to one of the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuaries, the 'El Rosario' Sanctuary. From the entrance to the Sanctuary we will walk a distance of approximately 2 kilometers, the walk takes about 1 hour one way and 1 hour back, but you can walk and tour the Sanctuary at your own pace. Once we arrive to 'Los núcleos' (the place where the butterflies are concentrated in the forest) we can stay in that specific area for about 20 minutes. On the way back, at the entrance of the Sanctuary we will have time for you to enjoy the delicious food prepared by the women of the region.

Important Information

  • At more than 3,000 meters above sea level, come and greet these impressive travelers with us. It is recommended to have breakfast before departure for this tour as we do not stop for breakfast and it is not recommended to eat at the Sanctuary until we have returned from seeing the butterflies so as not to miss the best moments of the day to see the butterflies. It is recommended to bring a bottle of water for the hike up the mountain.
