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!

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
