Fairy tale forest in Mexico, no kidding!

I had no idea that butterflies migrate! But apparently some do! There is a Monarch butterfly sanctuary in Michoacan, about 5 hours drive from Mexico city. I went in March and butterflies were already awake and flying around everywhere, getting ready to go back north to USA. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time, seriously, I felt like a little girl in a fairy tale with all the hundreds of butterflies flying around me. The hike up to the sanctuary was a bit tough, but totally worth it once you get there. The view is amazing, it is basically a forest with lots and lots of beautiful that are everywhere. A tip: wear good shoes because the ground can be slippery. Also, try to go early to avoid crowds. And bring water! Once you start to hike up - there is no places to buy anything. #nationalparks #mexico
