  Wonderful and informative visit to the Mariposario Jardin Magico! We booked the private transport and tour on their website, and they picked us up at our Alta Vista condo in... read more a lovely and comfy sedan for the 40-minute drive. The driver, Guillermo, waited while we took the 2-hour tour of the garden with the owner, Fabian. It was a warm day with not much breeze, and the garden has a filtered sun fabric top, so bring a hand fan and water. Fabian‘s passion and knowledge of butterflies is outstanding. You will learn things you never knew, see things you’ve never seen, take dozens of photos, and even release a butterfly or two while making a wish (and getting a little emotional). The package includes door-to-door transport but we opted for our driver to drop us at a restaurant on the way back instead, and took an Uber home. Recommend 100%! Kids welcome too!

  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.

  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

Not a tourist trap at all.....rather a wonderful, off the path find! Thank you!

  The tour guide was great and the butterflies were very interesting, including HUGE white morphos and another species that makes noise to warn off competitors!

  Fabian guided us through the sanctuary and he was just fantastic. So educated and passionate, we learned so much! This is a unique and different experience in PV, perfect... read more for families, couples or an individual. A terrific way to spend a few hours and support this small, resourceful business. Thank you Fabian!

  Fabian is extremely knowledgable about butterflies not only in this region, but of the world! He is also extremely kind and easygoing. The tour was amazing and my sister and... read more I learned so much. It's a small business and it's amazing to support and to see how it has thrived and how the butterflies have acclimated.
