Therefore, we believe in small groups, the use of public and private transport, stay in small to middle size and locally owned hotels, support local guides and we try to have less impact on the countries we visit. We know the places we go to and our goal is to take the hassle out of your holiday and make it simple, so you can enjoy every minute of it. Visit us @ www.exploralatinamerica.com.mx

A new generation in the making...

When you walk through the forest and suddenly a pair of Monarchs are falling from the sky. They are landing right in front of your feet. After taking a moment to recover from the impact, the female tries to escape one last time. But the male holds on tightly and drags his chosen one to the shade where she will have less energy available, and it will be easier for him to control her. If he is successful, they might stick together for up to around 16 hours. A new generation is on its way.

Update from the overwintering sites in Mexico. The Monarchs are mating and getting ready to head north. The footage was taken two days ago in Sierra Chincua. #monarchbutterflies #overwinteringsites #monarchsanctuaries #PlantMoreMilkweed #PollinatorGarden #ecotourism #mexico

At all overwintering sites you can hire a horse (each horse comes with your personal guide) that brings you closer to the Monarchs. It is beautiful experience and at the same time you support the locals that call the oyamel fir forest their home.
