“The second home to the Monarch”
The Monarch Butterfly, despite being a fragile beauty, takes a fantastic journey of 2,000 to 4,500 miles round trip from the forests of Canada and the U.S. to Mexico. They are grouped by millions in the forest of firs, the main type of vegetation in the heart of the reserve, which represents the characteristic habitat of the Monarch butterfly area. Three thousand meters above sea level, it is one of the regions of the world that in the winter they provide special conditions for life: · Cool temperature, which indicates that they must be kept quiet and not expend energy to return. · Patchy fog that provide water and moisture. · Trees that protect them from hail and snow.
Haven't been since I was a kid but a very cool place to go. You can either hike up or take a donkey ride (not sure how long the hike is, we opted for donkeys). You stand in the middle of a pine forest and literally the only sound is the flutter of butterfly wings all around you. If you stand still for a few minutes the butterflies will start landing all over you. It's a pretty cool experience if you're anywhere in the area during the migration season (it varies a little bit, but if you go sometime between November and February you should get to see them).
