点评:Like most travelers, we came here to see the butterflies and they were breathtaking! The parks are relatively easy to get to, and you do get a mandatory park guide that tags along within the park. However, we learned there are many factors that can increase your chances of having a magical experience BEFORE you even get to a park. Time of year, time of day, temperature, cloud cover, and rain can all determine whether you see thousands of butterflies dancing in the air above you or not. As you're in the mountains, conditions can change quickly. There are a few parks in the area, and while some of their peaks may be fully shrouded in clouds and even raining, others may be your ticket to an unforgettable experience. That's why I highly recommend getting a good local guide who knows the area and can increase your chances of seeing tons of butterflies, especially if you're tight on time like we were.
We were lucky enough to find Oscar as others have in previous reviews. Oscar Reyes is a local in Angangueo who is also a guide and speaks excellent English. He's truly a local and gets his business through word of mouth and referrals. Oscar was kind enough to drive the 4-5 hours to Mexico City to pick us up and drove us back once we finished our stay. I can't praise him enough for how much he elevated our experience. We call him the butterfly whisperer. He glanced at the peaks and knew which park might give a better show. Sure enough, in talking to other guests at our accommodation, he was right on more than one occasion. When it rained, he took us to town, nearby ruins, recommended good places to eat, and suggested other interesting places that are worth seeing/experiencing that only a local would know. You get a truly authentic local experience with Oscar, tailored to your wants if you so choose.
To reward his excellent service to us, I am more than happy to continue to refer him to others interested in seeing the butterflies or the area. He doesn't have a website at the time of writing this review, so I reached out to him via WhatsApp as others have, and I recommend you do as well.
Oscar can be reached via WhatsApp at +52 715 127 2308. All those considerations mentioned above, such as how's the weather, how are the butterflies right now, when should I come, etc., he can answer better than most. I suggest you have a chat with him first before committing to any concrete plans, as there isn't a whole lot he can do if you show up in unfavorable conditions as we did. He still managed to make magic happen by knowing when and where to take us, and we are truly grateful.
He says 10 years ago there were 10 times as many butterflies in the area. I highly recommend you visit while they're still around. Once you decide to come, reach out to Oscar Reyes and plan an unforgettable trip!
翻译:像大多数旅行者一样,我们来这里是为了看蝴蝶,它们美得令人窒息!这些公园相对容易到达,而且你会得到一份公园指南,随行。然而,我们了解到,在你到达公园之前,有很多因素可以增加你获得神奇体验的机会。一年中的时间、一天中的时间、温度、云量和降雨量都可能决定你是否能看到成千上万只蝴蝶在你头顶上飞舞。当你在山上时,情况可能会迅速变化。该地区有几个公园,虽然其中一些山峰可能完全被云层笼罩,甚至下雨,但其他一些公园可能让你获得难忘的体验。这就是为什么我强烈建议找一个了解该地区的好当地导游,这可以增加你看到大量蝴蝶的机会,特别是如果你像我们一样时间紧迫的话。
我们很幸运地找到了奥斯卡,就像其他人在之前的评论中提到的那样。奥斯卡·雷耶斯是安甘格奥的当地人,也是一名导游,能说一口流利的英语。他是真正的当地人,通过口口相传和推荐获得生意。奥斯卡很好心地开车 4-5 个小时到墨西哥城来接我们,并在我们结束住宿后开车送我们回去。他大大提升了我们的体验,我对他的赞美无以言表。我们称他为蝴蝶耳语者。他瞥了一眼山峰,就知道哪个公园可能有更好的表演。果然,在与我们住宿的其他客人交谈时,他不止一次说对了。下雨的时候,他带我们去镇上、附近的废墟,推荐好吃的地方,并建议其他只有当地人才知道的值得一看/体验的有趣地方。如果你愿意的话,奥斯卡将为你提供真正地道的当地体验,并根据你的需要量身定制。
为了奖励他为我们提供的优质服务,我非常乐意继续向其他有兴趣看蝴蝶或该地区的人推荐他。在撰写这篇评论时,他还没有网站,所以我像其他人一样通过 WhatsApp 联系了他,我建议你也这样做。
您可以通过 WhatsApp 的 +52 715 127 2308 联系 Oscar。上面提到的所有注意事项,例如天气如何、现在的蝴蝶怎么样、我应该什么时候来等等,他都能回答得比大多数人都好。我建议您在制定任何具体计划之前先和他聊聊,因为如果您像我们一样在不利的条件下出现,他能做的并不多。他仍然设法创造了奇迹,知道何时何地带我们去,我们真的很感激。
他说 10 年前该地区的蝴蝶数量是现在的 10 倍。我强烈建议您在它们还在的时候去参观。一旦您决定来,请联系 Oscar Reyes 并计划一次难忘的旅行!
