Notes
The Michoacán Forest is a majestic and extensive forest that hosts one of the world's most impressive natural phenomena: the migration of the Monarch butterfly. Located in the heart of Michoacán, this sanctuary becomes each year the temporary home to millions of butterflies that travel from Canada and the United States to hibernate in its temperate climate.
Inspired by this spectacular environment, the Enchanted Forest of Michoacán project aims to capture the magical essence of this place. In this fantastical vision, the forest mushrooms transform into magical creatures that emit light, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. These luminous mushrooms not only enhance the nocturnal landscape but also serve as natural beacons that attract the Monarch butterflies, intensifying the sense of wonder and mystery.
The Enchanted Forest of Michoacán is not only a tribute to the natural beauty of the Monarch butterfly sanctuary but also a celebration of the imagination and magic that can be found in nature. This place is a reminder of the deep connection between living beings and their environment, and how fantasy can enrich the appreciation of reality.
