Costa Rica has about 12,000 different species of butterflies, just over 11% of the world’s species, making it one of the best destinations for observing and exporting these forest wonders. We invite you to discover the world of butterflies from an ecological and sustainable point of view. Our naturalist guide will show you the entire life cycle of these wonderful creatures while walking in tropical plant gardens designed for butterflies to fly around while learning from them.
In this tour we will visit two butterfly gardens.
The first is located in the small town of Cabuya, where production and export is the primary focus. Here we discover the delicate process at each stage and explore the full life cycle of these exquisite creatures. It is a great learning experience for children and adults alike.
Our second stop will be in Montezuma where we collaborate with the work of the farm from gathering eggs to butterfly feeding to collecting cocoons (kids love this part of the tour).
This excursion will take approximately 4 hours and 30 minutes, allowing an ample amount of time to appreciate a variety of butterfly species and wild plants.
