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.

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 while in PV!
