Take a Private Jet to See Millions of Butterflies in the Mexican Wilderness This Winter

Montage Los Cabos is already a resort dedicated to helping its guests discover the best experiences, including can’t-miss dining and attractions in Los Cabos. And this winter, the hotel will expose guests to one of the most impressive natural wonders in Mexico, too.

Each November, monarch butterflies flap their glorious orange, black, and white wings to fly south from Canada and the U.S. to Mexico for winter. The swarm, made up of millions of these graceful creatures, typically descend on the forest between the Mexican states of Michoacán and Estado de Mexico. The butterflies tend to stay put for a few months, turning the treetops of Michoacán’s Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve into a blaze of orange color, until they take off again in the early spring. It’s a truly divine sight and one that Montage will help guests see this winter.

In January, the hotel announced it’s adding a suite of new experiences to its already stellar roster, including the Monarch Butterfly experience.
