Description

Three hours from Morelia is located the Chincua Sanctuary, a place where every year the Monarch Butterfly returns, its winter generation 'Methuselah', so called because it lives up to 9 months unlike other generations that only live 24 days, and thanks to its great resistance and longevity they fly around 4000km from Canada and northern United States, to the Oyamel forests located in central Mexico where they spend the winter and when spring arrives they carry out their mating, and then return to the north of the continent. Right there, nestled in the mountains are the sanctuaries that are part of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and that care and guarded by nearby communities await us, to safely and respectfully visit their temporary home while enjoying magnificent natural views.
