How to see Butterfly Migration Mexico, Visit Millions of Monarch Butterflies in Their Winter Home

One of our MUST SEE stops, we visited the winter home of MILLIONS of Monarch Butterflies before they fly back North. Just a short drive from Valle de Bravo, a Pueblo Magico located west of Mexico City.


An experience of a lifetime, we rode horseback up into the mountains to over 9,000ft above sea level to see the Monarch winter home for ourselves. At just $25 total for the two of us, it is an excellent value for such a unique experience! Our visit to Valle de Bravo was too big for one video, so check out PART 1 as we paraglided over the beatiful city and lake of Valle de Bravo: https://youtu.be/1stAW32DUSI
