Every autumn, millions of monarch butterflies travel thousands of kilometers from Canada and the United States to the forests of Michoacán and the State of Mexico.
The guide sets carnitas — Michoacán's slow-cooked pork — in the center so everyone can get to work.

Over dinner, guests learn facts about the butterflies and use them to solve orientation riddles that help them get home.

History and culture in every scene
As in all our experiences, the hosts' dialogue and the event's activities are written with real information about Mexican history and culture. You have fun and, without even noticing, you learn. The hosts explain the origin and meaning of the legend or tradition, and where the symbols, rituals and customs that appear during the night come from.
Format and customization
“The Copper Forest” is one of our Mexican food tastings productions. We can adapt it to your venue, group size, menu and language, as a private event or on dates open to the public.
