Monarch butterflies are, perhaps, the most well-known butterfly species in the world with the most highly evolved migration pattern of any known insect. With their parchment-thin wings, they fly 3,000 miles to, and from, Canada and the United States to their overwintering sites in the oyamel fir forests in Mexico's central highlands. Join Eve Fralick on her visually stunning travelogue as she shares the spellbinding sight of millions of fluttering wings as they fill the forest skies. Learn why the monarch population has been so seriously compromised in recent years and what you can do to help sustain monarch butterflies here at home. While in Mexico, you'll also experience a sunrise hot-air balloon flight over, and tour of, Teotihuacan, a United Nations World Heritage Site with the third largest pyramid in the world...as well as the Comovitral, a huge botanical garden encircled by ceiling-to-floor stained glass murals.
