Valle de Bravo
What it is
Not a fiesta but the region's great event: the monarchs arrive from Canada around the Day of the Dead and cluster in the oyamel forests at Piedra Herrada and El Rosario until March.
Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Valle de Bravo tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
