Virtual SA: Mexico- El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary

 

Today's virtual adventure takes us to El Rosario.

The name translates to The Rosary.

But this rosary encircles and protects butterflies.

Migrating Monarchs, to be precise.

Millions of them.

During the migration they thickly cover fields, mountains, trees...pretty much everything.

As well as filling the skies.
