Running 30 April - 7 May 2026, just 1 place remains available to join this perennially popular tour.

And, of course, like ALL our butterfly tours, it generates a donation to support the great conservation work of @europebutterfly.bsky.social. (2/2)

Miguel's working life has been devoted to butterflies and, among other accomplishments, he's been a pivotal part of @europebutterfly.bsky.social (BCE), including a tenure as its Chair. As regular Mariposa guests will know, we donate to BCE after every one of our butterfly tours. (2/2)
