Insect Museum - Museo vivo Los Bichos de Malinalco

El amable personal puede decirle todo lo que siempre quiso saber sobre su rastreador espeluznante favorito. A fun little museum in an out of the way location on a side street in Malinalco.

The friendly staff can tell you all you ever wanted to know about your favorite creepy crawler.  Martha    García AA      Museo vivo Los Bichos
