A sanctuary of light in Tlaxcala

Nobody has placed lights to decorate the fir trees, but there is still a shine coming from the forest. Why? If you move a little closer, you will realize that the ephemeral light comes from the fireflies that take possession of the Tlaxcaltecan countryside. They arrive every year to mate, giving attendees a natural spectacle that will leave you breathless.

The adventure starts at the time that you go to the lush forest of conifers. Forget your cell phone and any other distraction, lose all communications with the world, and you'll be there sitting in the middle of the forest enjoying the afternoon. As night falls, the forest is lit by thousands of tiny lights, creating a wonderful postcard with a naturally synchronized light show.
