The largest concentrations are near Mexico City (not far from Toluca, actually), and in Michoacan - though some habitats are elsewhere (in small numbers) I don't recall reading of anything in the state of Oaxaca.

the butterflies only arrive to Michoacán or Estado de México, not to Oaxaca.

Thanks Pencho. That's interesting that they winter in such a small area considering how large the area they migrate north to.
