Firefly Sanctuary and Maguey Field Tour

Visit the Firefly Sanctuary and the maguey fields in Nanacamilpa. Book your place and enjoy the summer doing outdoor activities and appreciating natural phenomena like this. It is important to mention that this "natural phenomenon" only occurs during the months of June and July, so schedule your visit and don't miss it.

We will meet at noon at the agreed point in Nanacamilpa from where we will begin the walk going to the maguey fields. There a tlachiquero will be waiting for us, who is in charge of the extraction of aguamiel and will be in charge of giving us the explanation of this process. We will continue visiting the tinacal, the place where pulque is preserved and where we will carry out the tasting. Finishing the test of the drink of the gods, we will go to try the exquisite Tlaxcaltecan food made by local cooks.

Arriving at sunset, we will go to the sanctuary to appreciate the fireflies. This insect gives off a greenish-white and yellow light, which will illuminate our path, prepare to enter the forest paths. The spectacle is unique as it seems as if the horizon is filled with a series of lights.

We will finish the tour enjoying a snack in the forest based on coffee in a jar, a quesadilla or a delicious enchilada.

Meet the fireflies!
