Butterfly sanctuary
jardín mágico

  What can I say, we were transported to another world upon entering this truly magical sanctuary. Kris and Fabian were more than guides, the knowledge that they imparted gave... read more us a new sense of appreciation not only for the mariposas but for their habitat. My favorite part of the trip was the story they told of a butterflies first flight. I won't spoil it for the rest of you. This place is a must, don't be fooled by the rural environment heading to the Jardin Magico, tip for visitors, wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes.- Leti

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 excursion was something 3 people in my party participated in. It was NOT wheelchair friendly at all and we had to take a taxi which ended up costing more... read more than the actual exhibit because it was far away from our hotel on the Malacon and the taxi driver had to wait for us an hour to give us a ride back or we would have been stuck out in the middle of the jungle. It was fun and thankfully I had a few big guys who made this experience possible for me in a manual wheelchair but I would not recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. The tour guide was awesome and the releasing of the butterflies at the end was really cool. Then I had to pee and that was a whole new problem trying to get to the bathrooms that were far away and not accessible at all. I should have done a lot more research on the accessibility but I just wanted to experience the pretty butterflies!
