Butterfly sanctuary
jardín mágico

  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!

Tres belle activité, a refaire! Surtout avec des passionnés com

  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.

  My partner and I booked a tour on our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed the tour at Planeta Cacao, and loved the hands-on activity of making our... read more own cocoa paste. Yum! Our guide for the Butterfly Garden, Fabian, was so great. He was extremely knowledgeable about butterflies, the various species, and host plants that are all native to the area. We learned a lot, and he was really fun to chat with during and after the tour. Bonus: we were impressed by the selection of natural, healthy snacks 🙂 It’s worth mentioning that the Mariposario team was really helpful in setting up transportation to and from the sites. I had my celluar data off in the days leading up to the tour, so I didn’t get the messages until the day-of but they were super responsive when I called, and they helped to arrange everything very quickly. Very helpful, given we were coming from Punta de Mita. Overall, I highly recommend visiting (and supporting) the Jardín Mágico: we loved seeing what they’re doing to preserve the local ecosystem, and educate kids and the broader community in PV. So cool, and so very, very important.

  The whole tour was amazingly beautiful and informative we highly recommend this to everyone it was a wonderful birthday celebration for me 🦋we learned so much about these lovely creatures 🦋🇲🇽

  This was a great experience, Fabian helped me and my wife have a great time learning about butterflies. He was very passionate about the butterflies and helped us enjoy ourselves 10/10

  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.
