Great Places — In A Group
Try ecotravel in a group! Green Concierge offers trips designed in-house and by a variety of vendors. Green Concierge Travel looks for vendors that are leaders in ecotravel and ecotourism offering a group experience that travels lightly on the planet and respects the communities and cultures visited.
You can walk the Canadian countryside, paddle some of the most beautiful rivers, bike from town to town and explore exotic destinations like Africa and Asia and take your values along for the ride. Vendors can be found offering luxury experiences or one where you do the work (wildlife research, trail maintenance of community building) - volunteer - and write the travel expenses off as a donation!
Or if you are looking for something else in group travel, Green Concierge Travel will help you find the right vendor for your special occasion or destination.
Natural Habitat Adventures takes you to The Kingdom of the Monarchs!
Fragile yet enduring, monarch butterflies make one of the great migrations of the planet. It can take up to four generations of butterfly to complete the distance of up to 5,600 miles traveling from Canada and the eastern/central United States down to the central mountains of the Mexican states of Mexico and Michoacan and back again.
 A migration of this magnitude and mystery presents an opportunity for discovery and just plain wonder. Join Natural Habitat Adventures and travel to Mexico's central mountains. The monarch butterfly reserves are open daily from mid-November through March. From November through January, the monarchs form pendent colonies off the oyamel fir trees barely moving. Then as temperatures increase and the butterflies mature, the monarchs detach and flutter in mass clouds. February and March are the best times to view this spectacle.
Natural Habitat Adventures offers a 6 day/5 night tour with multiple departure dates between January and March. Your gateway will be Mexico City. Local guides will take you to three separate butterfly sanctuaries and you will visit small mountain communities. Natural Habitat Adventures has selected comfortable accommodations. Your stay at Posada Don Bruno in Angangueo, demonstrates the economic benefits of ecotourism to those that live closest to the sanctuaries.
These small group tours are limited to 15 travelers. Please read the advisories regarding physical requirements. As the butterflies are located at high elevation and the tour includes some walking as well as horseback riding.
