Every year, millions of Monarch butterflies make their incredible journey to the forests near Attesi. Here is everything you need to know about witnessing this natural wonder.
One of the most magical experiences available to guests at Attesi is the proximity to the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. Each winter, the oyamel fir forests are transformed into a sea of orange and black as millions of butterflies arrive from Canada and the US.
When to Visit
The best time to witness the migration is between late November and early March. During these months, the butterflies cluster together on the branches to stay warm. On sunny days, they take flight, creating a breathtaking spectacle that looks like a living, breathing stained glass window.
