Monarch Butterfly Sanctuaries

Monarch butterflies in Mexico!

If you are looking for Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries, look no further than Mexico; specifically the states of Michoacan and the state of Mexico. These states have set up sanctuaries in the areas of protected forest. Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries are a treat to go through when it I butterfly season. I heard that some of the branches of the trees will snap under the weight of so many butterflies clinging to the branches! That's absolutely incredible. In each Monarch Butterfly sanctuary park, there are trails you can hike, bike, and climb â€" what a treat to go up into the forests and see the Monarch Butterflies just gliding through the air. They have certain times of day that they descend to feed on the nectar of the flowers and the dew that is on the ground.

You can contact the certain parks in the different states for tour times and pricing â€" this is really a majestic trip these butterflies make. They come from Canada all the way down to Mexico to escape the frigid winter chill, and then turn around when it gets too hot for them to survive in Mexico. It's a phenomenon, really. The main Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries are Rosario and Chincua in Michoacan and Cerro Pelon in Donata Guerra, Herradura and La Mesa in the state of Mexico. Call the respective parks to get more info on dates, times, and pricing! You won't want to miss going to one of these famous Monarch Butterfly sanctuaries!
