Overview

The monarch (Danaus plexippus) is perhaps the most well known of all American butterflies.

The Monarch Butterfly is famous for it's migration, which is said to be one of the most fascinating phenomenons of the natural world.
Originating in southern Canada and the United States, they travel to overwintering and mountainous sites in central Mexico. This process covers the lifespan of three to four generations of the butterfly.

Join us on an incredible 3 day, 2 night journey, to experience the Colonial Towns of Pátzcuaro, Santa Clara del Cobre (copper town), and Morelia.
Take the opportunity to enjoy the spectacular landscapes and culture that these wonderful places offer. Witness these majestic creatures that are the Monarch Butterflies.
