Itinerary
After a pick-up from your accommodation, start the Monarch Butterfly Tour Mexico taking a picturesque drive through the Valley of Mexico to reach Sierra Chincua, one of five official monarch butterfly sanctuaries that are famous for its exceptional natural beauty and impressive landscapes.
This place is the final (and the only) destination for the annual monarch butterfly migration (November to March) which is considered one of nature’s greatest spectacles and is currently a top-class attraction for visitors from all around the world. Once there, take a hike (or a horse ride, if you prefer to make it easier) to the colony of those amazing animals, enjoying beautiful mountainous landscapes and clean air on our way.
Afterward, go to the nearby “Magic Town” of Angangueo. Known as “the capital of Monarch Butterfly Reserve”, it also used to be one of the most important mining towns in the region and is currently known for its cultural and natural riches.
After an optional lunch and a walking tour around the town, return to your vehicle and relax on your way back to Mexico City.

Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Reserve Private Tour
Our guide Ximena and our driver Eddy were knowledgeable, professional and so kind and friendly. We were picked up from our hotel in Toluca in the morning and Ximena explained the plan for the day clearly and answered all our questions along the way. It was evident that Ximena loves her country, the monarchs and people. She made us feel like friends. We learned so much from Ximena about the monarchs and the migration phenomenon. When the time came to see them in the forest, she gave us all the time and space to just enjoy the show. We never felt rushed. 10 10 recommend this tour. Ask for Ximena and Eddy.
