Angangueo is a good base for exploring the Monarch butterfly reserves. It is a picturesque mining town with cobblestone streets and wooden houses. Located at an altitude of nearly 8500 feet above sea level (2,580 meters), nights can be cold. Some hotels offer rooms with fireplaces which can be a good option for the chilly nights in Angangueo.
