Butterfly sanctuary
jardín mágico

  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.

  Very interesting visit to observe local butterflies on local, natural vegetation. Knowledgeable guides describing environment!

  I was lucky enough to receive a solo guided tour of the butterfly sanctuary by Fabian as I arrived just in between other guests lucky for me :).

Highly recommend! One note is to consider having your taxi wait for you as it is a little off the beaten bath.

  I took a taxi from Zona Romantica, and arrived there, the taxi waited for me until I was finished. It was 270 pesos to enter and have the tour, well... read more worth it, and I received wonderful explanations by Fabian, who is very passionate and knowledgeable! I had tears in my eyes to see some of the butterflies (so incredibly beautiful) but also the care put into this place, the growing of the special plants needed by the butterflies, which differs for each butterfly. He showed me the eggs and the caterpillars on the plants and all the challenges they face to become butterflies. At the end I was given the opportunity to release a new born butterfly into the garden, which was quite wonderful. It was a great joy to have experienced this and Fabian was great, he really cares, and so should we all. There are building condo's right next to this area, and destroying habitat....this place is a real garden of Eden...worth a visit for sure!
