Mexico: When Beetles Meet Butterflies
Starting this November and until mid-March, the Traveling Beetle offers you the opportunity to meet the butterflies on the final leg of their extraordinary journey.

Leaving from Santiago de Queretaro (two-and-a-half hours north of Mexico City), voyagers will travel to some of the most exquisite colonial cities and towns of central Mexico in their own classic Beetle convertible. In convoys or on their own, travelers will visit San Miguel de Allende, Dolores Hidalgo and Guanajuato before they Beetle their way further south to the state of Michoacán and its majestic capital Morelia. Slipping on windbreakers, the group will then make its way to the mountains and pine forests of Michoacán, home to Mexico’s largest butterfly sanctuary situated near the cute little mining town of Angangueo.

The Traveling Beetle in Mexico

During their 7-day adventure, lucky globetrotters will travel over 500 miles on a journey that will delight nature lovers and urban creatures, history and architecture buffs as well as travelers seeking an insight into Mexico's culture and modern way of life. During the course of their trip, travelers will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the ride knowing that their itinerary has been carefully planned, that the best hotels along the way have been booked and that a guide and mechanic will be by their side throughout the journey.

So if the Monarch butterflies are amazing international travelers and fly several thousands of miles to escape the
cold of winter perhaps should you too!

7 Day / 6 night packages include your ride (a classic Beetle convertible), accommodation in some of Mexico’s finest hotels and haciendas, your guide, 24/7 roadside assistance, gas, tolls and automobile insurance.
