It takes 1,000 butterflies to weigh one pound (.45kg), and the branches on this tree were sagging under the weight.

The monarch colony here was quite different than at the more popular El Rosario sanctuary. 40 minutes outside Zitacuaro, near El Capulin, we chartered a couple of tiny mountain horses to take us up the rugged path to view the colony. The monarchs were clustered within a ravine, swirling around a few choice pine trees in search of sunny roosts. Whenever the sun went behind a cloud the butterflies scrambled into the air and back to the safety of the nucleus, knowing that settling down for the night outside the warmth of the colony would mean certain death.

Cabañas Treje

10/10 Excellent

"Tuvimos una estancia increíble, íbamos por la habitación sencilla y terminamos con la que tiene la tina incluida, se pasa un rato agradable aunque había muchos mosquitos. Mis únicas quejas son que llegar a la ubicación no es tan sencillo y no cuentan con amenidades, lleven sus propio shampoo, crema y jabón, pero en general todo bien, tienen una atención excelente y son muy amables. "

Hotel Boutique Botaniq

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente location with beautiful view, is super quiet, relaxing and clean. But, what makes this place even more special is the service from the staff, we were greeted at the parking by Miguel, and at the front desk by Conzuelo, both made us feel welcome in a warm way. During our stay both were very attentive, polite and friendly. The food is delicious, the chef Roberto accommodated any special requests. We want to thank Conzuelo, Miguel, Roberto for going above and beyond in delivering exceptional service. They and the rest of the staff are truly an asset to this beautiful Hotel. "
