Every winter, Mexico's Central Highlands host a charismatic visitor: the monarch butterfly. These migratory marvels travel 3,000 miles each year to overwinter in the region's oyamel fir forests, where they mate before flying north again in the spring. Explore Mexico's monarch sanctuaries with Expedition Leaders Melissa Silva and Diana Lopez, who reveal what makes the oyamel fir tree the perfect winter roost, hear the latest theories on how new generations of monarchs know exactly where to go on their migratory return, and much more.
