Tourist Destinations in the Monarch Butterfly Reserve
The Monarch butterfly hibernation sanctuaries in the States of Mexico and Michoacan open their tourist services to the public in November every year, since by then the butterflies are practically established in the colonies. Therefore, visitors can enjoy this natural wonder from December to March. |

MONARCH SANCTUARY - This month I made a special trip to three Monarch sanctuaries with visitors from the WWF and Lincoln Brower. This year there is absolutely no control of the masses of visitors on the weekends. Avoid weekends!
In Piedra Herrada, State of Mexico, only 10 visitors are allowed in a group at one time. The result is that the community guides, or ejidatarios, are in a hurry to take people up, so that they can go down and take an other group.
Another problem is that horse rides occur on the same trails as the people.
In Rosario, Michoacan the organization was better, there is an infrastructure of trails and a third place near Zitacuaro, that's off limits to most, was very nice.

Mexico Raids Mills Near Monarch Reserve

| Quote: | | MEXICO CITY (AP) — Police conducted the biggest anti-logging raid in the nation's history at clandestine sawmills that cut timber on a threatened nature reserve where Monarch butterflies nest in the winter, the government said Thursday. Agents seized the equivalent of about 600 heavy truckloads of wood, the attorney general's office said, calling the Wednesday raid 'the largest seizure of illegally logged wood in the country's history.' |
