This was a “must do” for me before I left Vallarta and so glad I did! Mariposario Jardin Magico (Magic Butterfly Garden) was fabulous and our guide Fabian RS... read more was so into butterflies!! His enthusiasm is infectious and his knowledge encyclopedic. My gift release at the end of the tour was this lovely Pink Spotted Butterfly.

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!

A must do activity for anyone wishing to get away from touristy areas and activities! My spouse Chris and I visited on 4/14/22. It was a wonderful and... read more highly educational visit. Our guide, Fabian, is an excellent teacher and a kind soul. We were fortunate to not only spend time learning about indigenous butterfly and plant species, but also to get to know a little about his and Cristian's lives and their journey to creating this wonderful place. We are very thankful to have spent a few hours with you both and hope to see you again in the future! Brandon and Chris

I did this tour with a group of friends on my last full day in Puerto Vallarta, and what a serene and peaceful way to end our trip. Fabian is... read more an absolute gem and has so much knowledge about each butterfly and can point out the tiniest caterpillar and know which one is which based on the plant the caterpillar was on.
