Not easy to get to, but worth all the effort!
El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Preserve的点评
点评：What an incredible experience. If you are freaked out by butterflies, this is not for you. When they are active, you'll have hundreds of monarchs fluttering all around you, all over the sky, and probably a few landing on you. When it's too cold or dark and they are sleeping, it's incredible to see these 'shaggy' trees with thousands of them nesting side by side. There are so many it makes the tree limbs and trunks look like they have bags on them. When the temps get above about 15 degrees Celsius, they start becoming active.
I'd recommend planning to arrive in the morning before the temps are that warm. Then you can see the masses on the tree branches. As it warms, suddenly the air will come alive with them. It's just magical and totally silent.
It's all wonderful once you arrive, but it is a journey and then some to reach the nesting grounds. It's about a 3 hour drive from Mexico City if you are lucky. If you try it on public transport, plan to arrive the night before and stay in a nearby village. But reaching the entrance is only the beginning. From there, it's a further 2km hike with about 450 meters of elevation gain. Keep in mind the starting elevation at the welcome centre is about 2,900 meters above sea level! The first part of the path is smooth and even steps. Then it is a decent dirt trail, and then some uneven steps. Plenty of places to sit and rest, so it is very doable by most fitness levels if you take your time. If you don't want to walk, you can ride a horse up most of the way. You'll have to walk the final 200 meters or so uphill to the nesting grounds still. Either way, take plenty of water as there is none available once you leave the welcome centre.
Finally, take cash. When we went, it was cash only for the entry ticket and cafeteria onsite. There is a small village of food and souvenir vendors around the path leading from the parking lot, but I don't imagine any of them take credit cards, either.

翻译：真是一次不可思议的体验！如果你害怕蝴蝶，那就不适合你了。当它们活跃的时候，你会看到数百只帝王蝶在你周围翩翩起舞，在天空中飞舞，甚至可能还会有几只落在你身上。天气太冷或太暗，帝王蝶正在睡觉时，看到成千上万只帝王蝶并排筑巢，真是令人叹为观止。它们数量众多，以至于树枝和树干看起来就像裹着袋子一样。当气温超过15摄氏度时，它们就开始活跃起来。
我建议你计划在气温还没那么热的早晨到达。那时你就能看到树枝上成群结队的帝王蝶。随着气温回升，空气中突然充满了它们的气息。那里真是神奇，而且完全寂静无声。
到达之后，一切都很美好，但要到达帝王蝶的筑巢地，还需要一段漫长的旅程。如果你运气好的话，从墨西哥城开车大约需要3个小时。如果您尝试乘坐公共交通工具，请计划前一天晚上到达并住在附近的村庄。但到达入口仅仅是个开始。从那里出发，还要继续徒步2公里，海拔上升约450米。请记住，游客中心的起始海拔约为2900米！路径的第一部分是平坦的台阶。然后是一段不错的土路，然后是一些不平坦的台阶。有很多地方可以坐下来休息，所以如果您不慌不忙，大多数人都能完成。如果您不想走路，可以骑马上山。您仍然需要步行最后200米左右的上坡路才能到达筑巢地。无论如何，请带上足够的水，因为离开游客中心后就没有水了。
最后，带上现金。我们去的时候，门票和现场自助餐厅只收现金。从停车场通往路的周围有一小群食品和纪念品摊贩，但我想他们也不接受信用卡。
