See the millions of monarch butterflies in the Piedra Herrada sanctuary
Experience one of nature’s most incredible journeys as millions of monarch butterflies arrive in the mountain forests of central Mexico. From January to February, the butterflies cluster in dense, fluttering groups on the oyamel fir trees at altitudes above 3,000 meters.
We’ll visit the Piedra Herrada Sanctuary, about two hours from Mexico City, where a 45–60 minute hike or optional horseback ride takes you to the heart of the reserve. Comfortable shoes and a light jacket are recommended.
The excursion departs after breakfast and returns by late afternoon, leaving time to join the optional Lucha Libre tour if you wish.
