Overview of your Puebla tour:

I’ll make you discover a nature reserve full of magic that every year becomes one of the best places in Mexico for firefly watching. This reserve is protected and managed by the community of villagers. To start this ecological tour, you’ll enjoy a pre-Hispanic meal. You’ll learn everything about the pulque, a pre-Hispanic sacred beverage produced from the maguey, an agave plant. We’ll enter the sanctuary to discover the native flora and fauna of this coniferous forest. You'll learn how the villagers use these plants with medicinal and therapeutic properties. At nightfall, the fireflies will gradually appear until they fill the darkness with fluorescent green spots. They arrive every year to mate, creating like a constellation sky in the forest. We will rest there, lulled by the sounds of the forest, observing the unbeatable natural spectacle of the fireflies glowing and flying around and very close to you. If you like to get in touch with nature in a protected natural site, this is the tour for you.
