Firefly Sanctuary

About this activity

Santa Rita Tlahuapan, Puebla, seems to be immersed in a winter wonderland, and no one has put up lights to adorn the oyamel fir trees. So why are they glowing? The ephemeral light comes from fireflies, which take over this natural space in Puebla during June, July, and August.

• Like every year, they arrive to mate, offering visitors a breathtaking natural spectacle.
• Fireflies are an endemic species of this forest in Puebla.
• If you imagine that fireflies travel to reach the forest, you're mistaken, because they are a species that lives there permanently.
• It's just that during June, July, and part of August, it's their mating season, and they light up to attract attention.
