Mexico

Each year, a single generation of migratory monarch butterflies complete an annual journey of up to 2,500 miles (about the width of the United States)!  Now, you can follow their path and witness one of nature’s most fascinating phenomena.

Join us on an unforgettable adventure to the monarchs’ overwintering grounds in the mountains of southern Mexico. Your journey begins in Mexico City with a guided walking tour led by an expert naturalist. Explore the historic Zócalo, marvel at the Metropolitan Cathedral and ancient ruins at Museo del Templo Mayor. You’ll also take part in a meaningful service project with ECOLIFE, helping to protect both the monarch butterflies and the local community.

Next, immerse yourself in the magic of the butterfly sanctuaries. Spend two full days exploring Sierra Chincua Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary and El Rosario Reserve. Stand in awe as millions of monarch butterflies take flight all around you, creating an incredible display of color.

After days filled with exploration, relax at the Hotel Agua Blanca nestled among subtropical flora and fauna.

Before returning back to Mexico City, visit the pyramids at San Juan Teotihuacán and its Quetzpapalotl Palace or “Palace of the Butterflies” known for its elaborate and well-preserved pre-Hispanic mural paintings.

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to witness the monarch migration firsthand!
