Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This was such a great experience. Bit of a hike to the top. The guide was friendly. Millions of butterflies everywhere.

We were lucky to have a sunny day when we visited El Rosario. There were thousands of butterflies just by the entrance. We took the horses up and I’m glad we did since the path was steep and dusty. I’m usually afraid of horses but a guide leads them the whole time.
At the top there are signs for silence. The butterflies covered the trees while others flew around so numerous they looked like orange confetti.
It was a magical experience that I would definitely recommend!

This is a very nice and organized place, after you buy your entrance you just need to decide if you want to hike or take the horses (I took the horses because I love them and they appear to be well taking care of). Seeing the butterflies was amazing, if you go on a weekend expect a lot of people walking and the path can be a little bit slippery so be careful walking if you are a senior. Go to the place without expectations about the butterflies because if you have a cloudy day you will just see them hanging from the trees which for me was beautiful but for other people can be very disappointed.

The El Rosario reserve is beautiful, and well maintained. The people are friendly and anxious to help you enjoy your time there. We chose to rent horses and were glad we did, it is a 3 kilometer hike back to where the monarchs chose to spend the winter, and the horseback ride led by our guide added to the experience. You can not get up lose to the masses of butterflies in the trees, but rightfully so, as you don’t want to disturb there wintering grounds.

Our experience wasn’t as great as some of the other reviewers. We arrived in the morning, and it seems that with your entry fee, you get a one-on-one guide. We were excited: two of us and two guides! As we began walking in silence, I decided to ask my guide some questions. She provided one word answers, and didn’t elaborate on anything. In fact, she said nothing whatsoever about the butterflies. My wife’s guide was silent. I had been expecting some explanation of where we were, so I asked, “why is the number of butterflies so much greater than in previous years?” She replied, “because there are more.” Once we were half way up the hill, she finally started talking. She wanted to let me know that if I wanted to, I could pay her $200 pesos, as guides don’t get paid. So, this was the full extent of the information provided by the guide. You could tell she was a little embarrassed to be mentioning this, as she was kind of hushed and looked back a few times at the other silent guide. Once we arrived, they let us sit for 20 minutes and wait. The sun was starting to hit the butterflies, and 3 had taken flight. Then it was announced that we had to leave. No one else was there, so it’s not clear why we had to leave, but we returned and I tried to make small talk with the guide since it felt so always in silence. It was a bit disappointing to have this experience with the guides and not to be allowed to wait for the butterflies to take flight. She said they would fly around 10am. It was 9:45 when we turned around.

You have already heard how wonderful this place is so here are some tips. If you take the collective up, try and get the driver’s number so you can text him when he will return. There is no set schedule. The butterflies come out when it is sunny so keep an eye out for the weather (no joke). The venders will swarm you when you leave the sanctuary so be prepared and be firm but nice. They are trying to make a living. The food was delicious at several places that we tried. I assume they are pretty much all good. Ask the sanctuary guide questions they are a wealth of knowledge. Dress in layers, you will get hot, cold, hot, cold. We went twice. Once we rode horses and once we walked it. Horses are nice if you’re in a rush but you don’t get the guide information. Enjoy your time!

A year ago I took an amazing trip to the monarch butterfly reserves El Rosario & Sierra Chincua near Angangueo, Mexico.
I based my trip on reviews from Travel Advisory & wholeheartedly agree with their descriptions of the magnificent experience. I’ll not repeat but will add on.
I flew into Mexico City but in my haste to get to the monarchs didn’t plan enough time there.
But My remarkable driver/guide Fernando Lopez ensured i made the most of it visiting Basilica of Our Lady Guadalupe; fun & pretty Floating Gardens; and busy market square.
Fernando shared his extensive knowledge of the sites & city. I mentioned i was dreading the 3 hour bus ride to Angangueo and he offered to drive me! And return to fetch me! I enthusiastically recommend this wonderful gentleman.
Fernando Lopez +52 55 5402 7372 flg7372@gmail.com
Newly opened Mexico City Sofitel is beautiful. Staff fantastic from car park through hotel manager. One of the best meals of my life was at their BAJEL restaurant. The tastes, presentation & service highest quality.
In Angangueo, I hired Another exceptional guide/driver Oscar Reyes +52 715 127 2308 rrosco@live.com Knowledgeable & personable, Oscar goes out of his way to accommodate. He expertly guided me through the Monarch reserves. The breathtaking experience is well described by other reviewers. (If sensitive to altitude, add a packet of Propel powder to your water bottle).
I stayed at very pleasant Hotel Jardin in Angangueo. Terrace garden beautiful day or night.

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness and experience something beautiful. Being surrounded by so many butterflies that you can hear the fluttering of their wings is truly amazing.
We were fortunate that the butterflies were out and flying around the day we visited the sanctuary as I have learned this is not always the case. Temperature, time of day, time of the season and other factors are all variables of where the butterflies may be so do some homework.
But do it as it is an experience you will not forget.

To see this many Monarch butterflies in clumps, before they are warm enough to fly, and then take off in flight, is pure magic and unforgettable.
My advice:
1. Dress in layers as it is chilly in the morning and after an hour of walking, you will feel much warmer!
2. B
ring a small pair of binoculars. A traveler loaned me his while we were gazing at the clumps of butterflies and it gives a whole different perspective.
3. Do hire a guide, a paid guide who speaks Spanish. The guides have a deep love and respect for the monarchs. Our guide David, picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the two different locations for several days and took care of the entrance fees etc. He said he would have picked us up at the airport if we had contacted him. Honestly the hardest part of the trip was travel from the airport to the hotel. David Hernandez Reyes was wonderful. Contact him if you wish at davidguiamonarca@hotmail.com. +52 1 715 123 9007. His fees are very reasonable.
4. It is really a lot of walking. Take it slow and enjoy it! You can ride a horse at some locations.

El santuario de la Mariposa Monarca es ideal para poder visitar ya que nos presenta un fenómeno natural que ocurre cada año, el camino es algo pesado ya que es camino hacia arriba pero vale la pena. Para encontrarse arriba del cerro está bien estructurado para las personas que lo llegan a visitar, debes respetar las reglas de seguridad y sobre todo no debes llevarte alguna mariposa ya sea viva o muerta ya que puede alterar el hábitat natural de las mismas.
Recomiendo este lugar para visitar en familia y poder ver como las mariposas llegan a este sitio desde muy lejos, recomiendo llevar repelente y ropa cómoda para estar en el lugar.

The butterflies only visit the reserve in the winter. We were there last February and it was spectacular. Hotel Casa Iturbe in Zitacuaro was a fantastic hotel. Small, safe, great pool and great breakfast.

My husband and I, 60 and 66 have booked a trip to the Monarch migration. Can someone please tell me just how strenuous this hike to the sanctuary is? What should we expect? Do we have to be in top notch condition? Thanks.

We are hosting monarchs at our home in Texas - we currently have over 30 caterpillars! Our 4 year old is completely into monarchs and we want to bring her to El Rosario. Where should we fly into, where do we stay, how do we get there?

Do you recommend the horse ride for people over 65 with no experience riding horses?

Bothell, WA645 bidrag
I agree with the other comment about doing what you are comfortable with. The pack horses go very slow so riding skill isn’t necessary. If the butterflies are at the higher altitude, this may be a good option.

Will fuel shortages be a problem this weekend traveling from Mexico City? I will be visiting and am worried by the travel advisories.
RSGompertz
Bothell, WA645 bidrag
I can’t predict what will happen with the fuel situation, but if things don’t improve fast, I’d be worried about driving any long distances. I’m told that there’s no issue with Diesel fuel but I’ve seen extremely long lines of cars and people with containers waiting at Pemex stations and wouldn’t want to participate.
Best bet might be to take an organized tour bus. If you hire a driver, make sure he’s got a full tank.
If by travel advisories you mean safety, I can only say that we’ve had no problems, but we aren’t driving.
