Valle de Bravo

Valle de Bravo is a town on Lake Avándaro, west of Mexico City. The lake, ringed by wooded mountains, is a center for water sports. The town's cobbled streets are lined with well-preserved colonial buildings. Anchoring the Plaza de la Independencia is the 17th-century San Francisco de Asis Church. The Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, a habitat for millions of migratory butterflies, is north of town.
