On November 18 El Rosario opened the monarch sanctuaries for tourists to visit during the 2022-2023 overwintering season. Carmelo Martínez Colín from Ejido Cerro Prieto took the photos below of the colonies already forming in Sierra Chincua. The forests that shelter our beloved monarchs during the winter are being conserved thanks to the efforts of Carmelo and the people and communities that like him, are committed to the protection of our natural resources.
