Flight of the Butterflies | Experiencing the Longest Known Insect Migration on Earth

Monarch Butterflies Mexico

(Note: Visiting the Monarch butterfly sanctuaries of Mexico was one of my 100 things to do before the age of 31 list. Ever since I learned about it, I wanted to make it happen. I’ve since been twice and have also completed all 100 things from “the list”. Want to see the list? click here.)

Deep in the forests of central Mexico’s mountains, a natural phenomenon takes place each and every winter. The forests become absolutely smothered in colourful monarch butterflies that have migrated all the way from Canada.

One Hell of a Party at Cancun’s Coco Bongo

by 1 Comment

Sometimes we just need to party…

And there’s no better party in Cancun than a coco bongo party! Surrounded by people of all ages and from all over the world, colourfoul paper machete fell from the rooftop cascading among the strobe lights as waves of arms cheered in excitement. After all, Michael Jackson was about to perform. Not the real Miachael Jackson of course, but one of many musical impressionists who would put on a show for us that night. In-between live performances, pop songs would blast while creative videos beamed above the stage.

We were sitting on the second floor, which just so happened to be the VIP section with a few chairs overlooking the shenanigans below us. Next to me was a midget dressed like “The Mask”. Do you remember that movie with Jim Carrey? There was a bar in the movie called Coco Bongo, which is where the name of the club came from and why some of the staff (some of whom are midgets) are dressed as the character from the movie.

On top of the musical performances and cool videos, we were also surprised by superheroes such as Spiderman and Captain America, who would swing in from the ceiling and dual it out with their arch enemies. My favourite part was watching the torrential downpour of cold fog from above, shooting down at insane speeds to cool off those lucky enough to be standing right under it. After watching it a few times, I knew I had to experience it. During some trips to the bathrooms, I would patiently wait in the right spot until the alarm sounded to send down the very cold air.

It was so awesome.

It was incredible how thick the fog was and how much it could cool you off. I wasn’t able to see out of it until it stopped.

When the show ended around 2AM, the club continued until about 5 in the morning.

All I can say is, “Wow, what a party!”. It was a great way to end our last night in Cancun and the Caribbean side of Mexico.
