To introduce myself I'll start telling you that I am a private guide that makes private tours of Mexico City and surrounding areas. I was born and raised here in Mexico City, I'm a third generation full licensed tour guide, and I consider myself to have been a fortunate kid that could travel from time to time with his father and grandfather (both of them tour guides also) and had the opportunity that my family could show me, besides a deep love to Mexico, places and people that were not easely accessed. So I decided to continue the family's tradition and, I became a Professional General Tour Guide; registered in Mexico's Federal Tourism Secretary and also in Mexico City's Tourism Bureau. Now with 20 years of experience in my bussiness, guiding not only foreign travelers but also mexican travelers in Mexico City too, It's possible for me to design and perform personal or private tours not only in Mexico City but also in it's nearby cities like Puebla, Cuernavaca, Valle de Bravo, or San Miguel de Allende, for mentioning some. All my tours are flexible in all ways, like their duration and can be modified to meet your own personal needs or expectations! I'm looking forward to meet you so I can have the opportunity to show you my amazing Mexico City and my beautiful country. -General Guide License number N04496 and N011424. -Registered in SECTUR (Mexico's Federal Secretary of Tourism). -Registered as bonded guide in the Mexico City Tourism Bureau under registration number 5184. -Diplomae for general guidance certified by IPN School of Tourism. -Basic Mayan epigraphy in ENAH (National School of Anthropology and History). -Recent discoveries at Teotihuacan by SECTUR. -Off the beaten path in the State of Mexico by SECTUR. -The Metropolitan Cathedral (it,s art and treasures)by the Mexico City Archaediocesis. -Mexico City it's economic and historical development from the XVI to the XXI centuries by Mexico City tourism board.

It's my personal recommendation to visit El Rosario instead of other sanctuaries, since is the biggest sanctuary of this kind of butterfly in Mexico, and with the largest colonies, it's ideal for a full day tour. Before starting to climb we can have a taste of the local cuisine I would suggest to get a cup of blackberries atole which is unique to the place. After the tour we can go to get famous local dish in Zitacuaro (carnitas). There's possibility of local vegetarian cuisine too There's an optional 2 days tour you can request. Altitudes on the trail start at 9800 ft (3000 mts) above the sea level and final altitudes on the trail can be up to 11800 ft (3600 mts) depending on the exact spot the butterflies choose that year, therefore is essential that for your own safety and health.
• From Mexico City to El Rosario Butterfly sanctuary in Michoacan State is up to 4 hours driving there. It can also be up to 4 hours driving back to Mexico City. • At our arrival we can make a stop on one of the local places for you to take some breakfast and then on our climb to the sanctuary, we will be talking with the help of a local, what the situation of that particular season is on the butterflies sanctuary, local beliefs and of course scientific knowledge about the migration. DO NOT BOOK THE TOUR IF YOU HAVE CONDITIONS LIKE THE FOLLOWING: Heart disease/problems Knees or feet operation/injuries Blood pressure problems Pregnancy Any condition that could affect your ability to climb steps/going down It is a good idea for high quality photos to bring a camera with a telephoto. Tour operates ONLY from Nov 20- March 15
