Be prepared for the season of the Monarch butterflies 2019-2020 in Michoacan

18 Jun 2019

Every year from November to March, Mexico becomes the home of a wonderful natural spectacle. It's all about the beautiful Monarch butterfly that causes a huge fascination every year, while making their great journey from Canada to the forest of Central Mexico.

There are millions of orange butterflies that fly for more than 8 thousand kilometres to escape the unforgiving canadian cold and hibernate in the templated mexican forests. Here  is where they find the perfect conditions to rest, reach their sexual peak, copulate and then part to get back to their homes in the north american continent.

The forest area in which they gather has an extension of more than 16 thousand hectares that occupies the territory of Michoacan and Mexico State. This is known as the biosp here  Reserve of the Monarch Butterfly and because of its great importance since 2008 it has become part of The Natural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO.
