It takes 1,000 butterflies to weigh one pound (.45kg), and the branches on this tree were sagging under the weight.

The monarch colony here was quite different than at the more popular El Rosario sanctuary. 40 minutes outside Zitacuaro, near El Capulin, we chartered a couple of tiny mountain horses to take us up the rugged path to view the colony. The monarchs were clustered within a ravine, swirling around a few choice pine trees in search of sunny roosts. Whenever the sun went behind a cloud the butterflies scrambled into the air and back to the safety of the nucleus, knowing that settling down for the night outside the warmth of the colony would mean certain death.

Top Donato Guerra Hotel Reviews

Casa Chichipicas Hotel Boutique

10/10 Excellent

"The property I gorgeous and small, so very few guests. It's ideal if you just want to stay in the property and relax. The staff was next level, the restaurant was very good and all the areas are very clean and beautiful. If you do want to walk around the town it's not a long walk but, like most of Valle, it's a lot of steep streets so Taxi's are more viable. Will definitely go back!"

Cabañas Treje

10/10 Excellent

"Tuvimos una estancia increíble, íbamos por la habitación sencilla y terminamos con la que tiene la tina incluida, se pasa un rato agradable aunque había muchos mosquitos. Mis únicas quejas son que llegar a la ubicación no es tan sencillo y no cuentan con amenidades, lleven sus propio shampoo, crema y jabón, pero en general todo bien, tienen una atención excelente y son muy amables. "
