Overview of your Mexico city tour:

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.
