monarch butterflies during New Year Eve celebrations?

by marktynernyc

Thinking of going to Morelia for New Years ( have heard it's a beautiful colonial Spanish Baroque city) I'm also interested in seeing the monarch butterfly preserve which is about 2 hrs from Morelia. Have read the butterflies colonies are at their peak in February. Does anyone have any experience with the butterflies around new year's?

I was thinking about Gaudalarja for New Year's also - but I 'm gravitating towards something a bit less urban.

Any comments or thoughts appreciated.

The Monarchs just arrived to their sanctuary in Mexico, the best time is when they are getting ready to go back north and that would be end of february, early march.

But anytime between December and February is a good time for a nice hike to the mountains and take some pictures.

Morelia is a good choice for basecamp is a very nice colonial city (you can visit my Morelia page) and most hotels will help you arrange transportation to the sanctuary.

Veronica -
Thanks for the info. I may have to opt for Guadalajara for New Years because of flight issues - and maybe I should just wait until February. Once again, thanks.

If you change your mind and go to the Butterflies Sanctuary beware and be advised that this winter will be rather cold, specially in January. Last year was one of the worst colds in that region and most of the butterflies were dead.

Enjoy!

Travel Tips for Morelia

University Public Library of Morelia

by Laura_Mexico

I had visited Morelia sooo many times and I had never looked at this building twice before, let alone go inside...... just discovered it during my very last trip there.

This is a very old building which looks rather like a chapel or small church from the outside, and is just next to the candy/handcraft market. The door is rather small so you can't really see what there's inside if you just walk by. But if you go in you will discover a marvelous building with really old books inside where people go to read, do their homeworks, research, etc.... I'm not sure if you can borrow books from here, I suppose you can, but of course not the really old books exhibited on the walls.... I suppose these are only part of the general "decoration" but are not available to the public. I was really amazed with the nice paintings and gorgeous furniture they have in this place, too. It's really worth to pay a visit and admire this building, since most public libraries aren't that pretty LOL.

Open Monday through Friday, free entrance.
