  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!
