  It was a really splendid experience for both adults and kids. So much to see and learn about nature. Chris is a great guide and a wonderful person. Thank you... read more for the beautiful memories. We'll definitely be back in a different season to see other types of butterflies.

  What a lovely place! We were so delighted that this wasn't one of the usual butterfly experiences where you just walk around and look at pretty butterflies! Instead, it was... read more so educational, inspiring and informative! They are doing such great work here and spreading such outstanding information.

  Wonderful and informative visit to the Mariposario Jardin Magico! We booked the private transport and tour on their website, and they picked us up at our Alta Vista condo in... read more a lovely and comfy sedan for the 40-minute drive. The driver, Guillermo, waited while we took the 2-hour tour of the garden with the owner, Fabian. It was a warm day with not much breeze, and the garden has a filtered sun fabric top, so bring a hand fan and water. Fabian‘s passion and knowledge of butterflies is outstanding. You will learn things you never knew, see things you’ve never seen, take dozens of photos, and even release a butterfly or two while making a wish (and getting a little emotional). The package includes door-to-door transport but we opted for our driver to drop us at a restaurant on the way back instead, and took an Uber home. Recommend 100%! Kids welcome too!

  Had a Great day at the butterfly sanctuary with two gal friends. Chris was very informative and clearly has passion for what he is doing. Thank you for sharing so... read more much of your knowledge. The tour took approx one hour. After we enjoyed a lovely lunch at the Vista Vallarta golf course which was approx. ten minute drive from the sanctuario. A Very enjoyable day.

  The tour guide was great and the butterflies were very interesting, including HUGE white morphos and another species that makes noise to warn off competitors!

  Its a shot in the dark sometimes that comes out best. Don't worry about the drive out, just negotiate price. You'll drive up a dirt road to a... read more semi closed gate and then walk in. So far, so weird... then you'll walk around the dog boarding, next to a larg pond and go to a building with an entrance and exit on the same side. At that point you'll get to see butterflies! And learn all about their habits, find eggs and caterpillars, and then release one into the area. It was a better informative trip than many that I've been on, and although a little out of the way, I would tell people to go!

  This was a very informative tour. The butterflies are wonderful and our guide was very knowledgeable. This is definitely worth a stop. We didn't have a car and were able... read more to get there from the Malecon by uber for about 200 pesos or approx
