Valle de Bravo

Valle de Bravo
Valle de Bravo and the surrounding area is well-known in Mexico as a tourist destination for Mexicans, principally because it is a really nice town by a lake and only 2 hours away from Mexico City.

It is also very near to one of the bases where the famous Monarch Butterflies migrate to from the pine forests of North America.

If you would like to ride horses while you are in Mexico, then this is the place to head. There is a beautiful finca just set a little way up the hill in Valle de Bravo that offers wonderful horse-riding trips in the surrounding mountains. The usual length of trip is 7 nights, but shorter trips are also possible. Even if you don’t ride it would be possible for you to just stay at this beautiful finca for as many or as few nights as you like.

The Monarch Butterflies
As the autumn days grow shorter in the pine forests on the Canadian borders & North America, a colourful band of travellers set out for the warmer lands of Central America flying around 2500 miles to arrive in the mountains of Mexico during the last days of October or the first days of November. 300 million butterflies arrive each year to the same five or six sites; and the high density of them transforms the evergreen fir trees into beautiful yellow and gold trees as the butterflies cluster. These fragile travellers are the beautiful Monarch butterflies. A few months beforehand they were caterpillars, newly hatched from their eggs. Travelling at up to 35 mph, they sometimes cover as many as 250 miles on a good day, but it will take them 6 weeks or so to reach their destination. More…

Riding in Mexico is a great experience. We know of the best places to ride and amazingly it is only a two and a half hour drive from Mexico City. For those of you who know horses and riding, then you will also know that it is one of the best ways of getting off the beaten track and discovering a part of the country where others don’t often reach. Of course, this is only pleasurable if you are riding fit, well mannered horses who enjoy the rides as much as you and this is what you will find in Valle de Bravo. More…
