Magnificent place to enjoy the monarch butterflies, parking costs 40mxn and the entry 70mxn by person. You can also enjoy some Mexican food like quesadillas after walking to the sanctuary, pets are allowed however they can not enter to the sanctuary.

A nice hike in the forest, entrance fee is average. But be sure to get there during the week because it's getting very crowded during the weekend (you then wait in line for a long time in the packed small path). You can hire a horse for the first half of the way. But it's advised to be in good physical condition to make the trip. Best time to visit is on a sunny day around noon. You will only get 15 minutes at the top spot to admire the butterflies so get your camera ready!

Went 30th of December at 1pm only to arrive in front of a closed gate. Disappointed not be able to see the mariposas. We asked around and the locals said it's closed.

Beware only a small distance with paved road, the rest is all dirt road, climate will be a very big issue to see the butterflies, if it's cold, don't waste your time climbing to the top, there will be nothing to see. The climbing is quite stiff, and riding a horse is recommended if you're not the walking type (last 20 min are the most difficult and horses can't cross it). It will take around 1 hour of walking to get to the sanctuary, and about 30-40 min on the way back

Monarch Butterfly! Great place for viewing. Knowledgeable guide. Steep climb. A real wonder to consider how these insects do what they do. Definitely worth a visit. Limited viewing time.
