About the Monarch Butterflies
The Monarch Butterfly Migration is one of nature’s most spectacular events. This event occurs yearly when millions of Monarch Butterflies leave their summer home in the Northern USA and Canada to travel southward through Mexico and Central America.
When they reach their winter destination in the mountains of Mexico, they spend at least six months before returning north again in the springtime.
When's the best time to see the Monarch Butterflies in Mexico?
The best time to spot monarch butterflies in Mexico is from late October through March. It is when they migrate from the United States and Canada to their wintering grounds in Mexico. However, the best time to see them is during their peak migration period, which runs from mid-November until late January.
The most popular place for visitors to see monarchs is at El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Reserve, about an hour outside Puerto Vallarta on the Pacific coast. But you’ll also find them in other parts of Mexico, such as Michoacán or Oaxaca—check out where else you’d like to go before booking your trip!
Migration patterns vary each year depending on weather conditions and other factors, so it’s hard to predict exactly when you’ll see them during your stay. However, you want to see these magical creatures during their annual migration. Therefore, we’d recommend visiting between December and January (this is also the prime tourist season).
It’s hard not to get caught up in the excitement of seeing these bright orange giants fluttering through your vision; however, it’s important not to disturb them! Monarch butterflies are delicate creatures easily disturbed by loud noises or sudden movements near their nests—behaviors that may cause them to decide not to return this year!
The monarch butterflies are the most magical sight you'll ever see
The Monarch Butterflies travel thousands of miles to Mexico, where they spend months resting in the trees and eating nectar. Take the chance to meet them during their migration! Get in touch to book your tour.
