Beautiful views, but very few monarchs currently (late February 2025)
Sierra Chincua Butterfly Sanctuary的点评
点评:We visited both this monarch sanctuary and the larger El Rosario, and like other natural phenomena the massing of monarchs can be unpredictable. On our late February visit to El Rosario there were huge numbers of monarchs, carpeting some trees and taking flight in great numbers. But at Sierra Chincqua the next day there were much fewer of them - just a number flying about, and none on the trees at all. Other than that the hike at Sierra Chincua is more varied, less strenuous, and more beautiful, with mountain views and wildflowers along the way. But if you are planning to visit this season (March 2025) I would only come if you already visited El Rosario, because that is where the monarchs are.
翻译:我们参观了这个帝王蝶保护区和更大的埃尔罗萨里奥,与其他自然现象一样,帝王蝶的聚集是不可预测的。我们二月底访问埃尔罗萨里奥时,看到帝王蝶数量巨大,它们覆盖在一些树上,成群结队地飞翔。但第二天在 Sierra Chiccua,它们的数量少了很多——只有一些在飞翔,树上根本没有。除此之外,Sierra Chiccua 的徒步旅行更加丰富多彩、不那么费力、也更加美丽,沿途有山景和野花。但如果你计划在这个季节(2025 年 3 月)来这里,我建议你只在你参观过埃尔罗萨里奥之后再来,因为那里有帝王蝶。
