CarTour Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary El Rosario Michoacan, November to March (Hotel included)
The wonderful experience of seeing the place where the monarch butterfly migrates, coming from Canada to these forests where they spend the winter and then returning to Canada, thousands of kilometers.
It requires being willing to climb the hill very slowly on horseback, with the help of a cowboy who pulls slowly. It takes 1 hour to climb and 1 hour to return. This is the only way to access the area. At the top, walk 10 minutes to a place where there should be no noise.
