Butterfly sanctuary
jardín mágico

  Excellent experience at the mariposario jardín mágico en Puerto Vallarta. My guide fabián knew SO much about the lives of the butterflies and explained everything very well. The garden was... read more sweetly done with many, many tropical plants and interesting artifacts and folk art all around. I will go there again whenever I am in Puerto Vallarta. It was a short Uber trip from the Walmart near the Marina. Gracias por todo mis gran amigos de la mariposario

  Fabian gave a great tour of the sanctuary. He was very knowledgeable and very passionate about what he does. The tour moved at a comfortable pace and it was... read more great seeing the 13 different species of butterflies. Great tour 5 out of 5

  I had wanted to do this and I was so happy to get it on my schedule. Fabian is passionate and very knowledgeable about the butterflies and their life.... read more The garden is magical with butterflies floating around. We saw eggs, the chrysalis and of course many butterflies. I learned about plants as well. The highlight was releasing my butterfly at the end. It is worth the trip. Bring water. Help support this place!

  A day out with friends. Chris was our private tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions! Spoke perfect English and gave us lots of amazing and very interesting... read more information. A hidden gem and a must visit for all who love nature!

  Having an English speaking guide was very helpful as Adrian shared alot of information that we did not know, Releasing some newly hatched butterflies was very cool.

  We spent a wonderful few hours with Fabian doing this little gem of an excursion. The communication from Fabian right from the start was excellent. We made arrangements to meet... read more at a specific location and time and everything went as planned. Fabian met us and we rode the bus to the town that houses the butterfly sanctuary. We walked a short distance to the sanctuary where we got a history of how everything was set-up. Fabian spent a lot of time explaining everything once we went inside the butterfly house, talking about the host plants and all the processes they go through to protect the butterflies. We saw eggs and caterpillars and, lots of butterflies, of course. After a very personal tour, we got to each release a butterfly that Fabian and his team nurtured from egg to butterfly. It was amazing! We then got to continue to walk through the butterfly house on our own. Once we were done in the butterfly house, we headed out to meet Fabian at the beautiful pond on the property. We enjoyed time with ducks that Fabian had lovingly raised and look at the other wildlife on the property while we enjoyed water and snacks. Fabian then took us back to catch the bus back to Puerto Vallarta, making sure we got back to our starting point. Fabian was friendly, engaged and genuinely interested in us and our family. We would highly recommend this tour! You will learn a lot and spend a relaxing few hours enjoying a little known part of Puerto Vallarta!

  I believe our guide was Chris, and he was so knowledgeable which made our tour so much better. We learned so many things none of us knew about butterflies... read more and know that it was because of his knowledge that we were able to learn these facts. I highly recommend the tour, however, as we learned going a little later in the morning when the butterflies are active would have been even better.

  My husband and I visited the butterfly sanctuary, and it was GREAT!!! Fabian was an absolutely amazing tour guide. His knowledge level of these beautiful insects was incredible. Request him... read more specifically if you can. He even shared some knowledge of his home country of Peru with us. This tour is wonderful if you have a chance to do it whi

  This experience was very fun and chill. The host is good at communicating to find a meeting spot and make the trip more ple
