Our guide, Carlos, was...

Deborah_S, Mar 2026

Our guide, Carlos, was knowledgeable and personable. There were supposed to be four people on our trip but the others canceled and so we had a private tour with just the two of us. The car was comfortable. The countryside was beautiful and the mountain roads and towns were amazing. We paid ( 150 pesos each) to get into the sanctuary and 200 pesos each for a delicious meal afterwards. On the way to the sanctuary he took the back roads and told us about the agriculture of the area . On the way back to Morelia he took the highway and he paid the tolls on the road. My husband and I are in our 70s and the elevation gain was difficult for me but I took it slow and breathed every time I took a step, and I did fine. If the elevation bothers you, you can take a horse and that's easy to do. The weather at the top was cool and a little rainy and many of the Butterflies were clustered and many more were flying. Especially when the sun came out. If you are very interested in photographing the Clusters you should bring a telephoto camera. The Clusters look dark from a distance because they are in deep forest and located in tall fir trees. We loved our trip. It met all of our expectations.
