Join us in Mexico to experience one of the most astounding natural events on Earth, featuring an unlikely creature: the delicate monarch butterfly. Every year, at the end of the summer, millions of monarchs take flight on a remarkable 3,000-mile journey, from the Northeast United States and Southeast Canada to their ancestral wintering grounds in the volcanic mountains of central Mexico.

Journey with WWF's Director for Media and External Affairs for Latin America, Monica Echeverria, to central Mexico’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve for a unique chance to get up close to these amazing creatures. Immerse yourself in the monarchs’ fascinating world and learn directly from WWF experts and local communities about our work with the Mexican government, local communities, and partners to protect monarch hibernation grounds and to support sustainable projects that provide an economic alternative to the people who live in the monarch region.
