メキシコシティからのオオカバマダラ ツアー

This was an amazing experience. My girlfriend describes it as being in a magical fairytale- we had so many butterflies flying around us and in the forest. Please keep in mind- what you see is entirely random in terms of butterfly activity. The guides explain that they do not fly with it is cloud/overcast and stay clumped in the trees. Luckily we had a beautiful sunny day and we came in the peak season (Feb). We walked the first half and decided to ride the horses on the return hike which was really fun and worth the pesos. The meal you get for lunch was AMAZING as well. Probably one of the best meals of the trip to Mexico City. The atole and carne asada meal was so good and the fig bread appetizer was amazing. Im not sure white Americans would appreciate the meal, but coming from a Mexican American - It was bomb. Highly recommend this tour (come during peak season and cross your fingers it's a sunny day).

The guides were very knowledgeable and kind. It was a great experience and the nature was truly beautiful!

This was unbelievable experience We were lucky enough to visit on a warm Monday so literally we had the Mountain to ourselves 💙 Well worth the 3 hour car drive our driver and guide Marta Turísticos were wonderful and very safe driver. I didn’t realize how safe he was until we had a driver from hell when we went on a hot air balloon ride 2 days later. All in all I would highly recommend this trip it is something I will never forget💙

We had a great time,long walk in altitude, my wife took a horse 400$ mxc for Both ways.Restaurant was good.Try to go There on sunny Day.Only probem the bus was small for a 8 hours ride.

It’s a wonderful adventure. Our guide was very knowledgeable, engaging and spoke English well. The hike is not for the faint of heart, but horses are available at extra cost if the hike is too much. Once at the summit, the son came out and the butterflies began to fly. It was absolutely magical. After our descent, we were served a delicious, authentic lunch. It was a long, but memorable day.

Unfortunately our Uber driver dropped us at the wrong address (despite copying and pasting the address of the meeting point in the app). We promptly communicated with the company, and as soon as we realized the Uber driver’s mistake and that we were a 5 min drive away, we raced to the meeting point. We ended up being 19 minutes late, arriving just as they left without us and refused a refund or exchange. This tells you a lot about Paseos Touristicos, the company running this tour. Their communication was smug, and they were entirely unsympathetic about tourists trying to get to a destination in an unknown city at 6:30 in the morning. I would highly suggest going with another tour company!!! Avoid our mistake!!!

The tour guides were very helpful and knowledgeable! They were also supportive with my medical condition. Highly recommend!

After we got picked up we took the drive to the mountain. The guide was very informative during the drive and helped us understand the culture surrounding the butterflies and sanctuary. On the hike up it felt like we were approaching a magical location as the butterflies slowly increased in numbers. The local guide at the location was excellent, although didn't speak English but made the effort to point out interesting things we saw. We went with our 3 year old so I carried him most of the way and was getting severely winded about 80% of the way up. The guides pushed us to continue and even carried our son a portion of the way to help us up because they wanted to make sure we saw this awesome experience and it was well worth it. The butterflies covered the trees and local guides shared their binoculars to allow us closer looks. The hike down was much easier and we were treated to lunch which was delicious. This was a great trip

The Butterfly Sanctuary is a magical place in March. The sun and warm temperatures allowed for the full display of joyful and playful butterfly flight. It is a uniq experience that fulfills many senses. Marta and Alonzo (guide and driver) were wonderful, friendly, caring, knowledgeable and attentive individuals. Brava to all.

We highly recommend this tour with Alfonso and Martha as we spent an amazing day with them. The pickup at the hotel is very smooth and the drive, though quite long, comprises a stop in a petrol station for coffee/toilet. Arriving at the reserve, the breakfast is local and tasty, and if you wish you can ask for a horse ride up/down for an extra fee. We were lucky enough to do this tour end of February as it was the best time to see tons of lively butterflies. Be aware that this is a tour in nature, meaning you cannot control everything such as the weather or the location, quantities, and behaviors of butterflies. But the fact that this tour comprises a "tortilla workshop" part (baking your own tortilla and making your salsa), which can happen under any weather, makes this tour less "all or nothing" than others in case of bad weather. We really got good contact with Alfonso and Martha who even stopped on the way down so that we could go look up for some axolotl before heading back to Mexico City after this magical nature day. In short, if you are a nature lover respectful of the fact that nature is unpredictable, and willing to have a sneak peek into Mexican gastronomy with really nice people, this tour is for you :)
