About This Tour

The Monarch Butterfly Tour Mexico has the main purpose of watching a marvelous natural show performed by thousands of butterflies in UNESCO-listed Michoacan Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and visiting the charming town of Angangueo, a classic example of a Mexican mining town with large churches, tiled-roof houses, and verdant mountains. ✔ Enjoy an extraordinary natural show performed by thousands of monarch butterflies. ✔ Take an easy hike to enjoy the fresh air and picturesque panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. ✔ Walk down cobbled streets and enjoy the Alpine views of the “Magic Town" of Angangueo. ◘ You will spend the time of the tour purely on its activities & sightseeing: no visits to souvenir shops & restaurants (unless you ask). ◘ We are flexible: we can adjust the program and route to your interests while the duration of the tour can be always extended for an extra fee (for private tours only).

If both conditions are met, we can shorten the stay at a particular location included in the program of tour so that you have time to visit the place you are interested in. Other changes such as extending the duration of the tour, changing the route, and adding extra participants, should be communicated to the Company at least 48h before the tour and will involve an extra fee.
