When we were in Querétaro a couple years ago we did some tours with Bike Tour Querétaro (which does more than just bike tours). It is a company run by a young couple, Uriel and Ana.
Their tour company is still going strong so we asked them if they could (1) take us back to Michoacán to see the monarch butterflies, and (2) drive us up to Jalpan on the 23rd when we move up there. Today was butterfly day! Yay! Because the weather was cooler we opted to hike the whole way instead of taking the horses part way. Unfortunately, because it was quite cold, the butterflies were all sleeping quite soundly in the trees the whole time and we didn’t get to see much at all. We saw a few butterflies on the ground - almost too cold to move. Apparently February is the best time to go, which is when we were there last time. Anyway… we had a good hike up and back and sort of saw some butterflies. We did have a couple of great meals. Uriel and Ana took us first for breakfast at Antojeria Juarez in Querétaro. The proprietor is from Amealco and brings blue corn flour from there to make her own tortillas. Then, for lunch after the hike we returned to Cocina Economica Doña Osve, which is where we tried huitlacoche last time. We had to have it again this time. It was good but I think I liked my potato taco better this time. |
