Firefly season begins in Tlaxcala

After the visit to the sanctuaries to admire the Fireflies was suspended in 2020, due to the pandemic, this year thanks to the green traffic light in the state, this tourist attraction will be reactivated.

The 2021 firefly season in Tlaxcala begins this June 18 and runs until August 8.

The 2021 firefly season was already announced by the authorities of the state of Tlaxcala, after last year, the sanitary measures applied by the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the sighting of the peculiar insects from being carried out in the different sanctuaries in the entity.

The Tlaxcala Tourism Secretariat urged people who decide to visit the state for the natural spectacle, to visit only the Sighting Centers, as well as to hire packages with operators authorized by the Tourism Secretariat.
