We were staying at Rancho Margot and the conservatory was not far at all. It is very interesting and the volunteer tour guides are super enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the butterflies and reptiles there. Well worth the visit.

Loved everything about our tour. Very knowledgeable guides, many beautiful butterflies, and the frogs were special. The place is run with volunteer help who are specialist in there field or trained by there cohorts. The place is Very special. Definitely a Must See!

The road to Castillo is challenging. The road is terrible but is worth the hour it takes avoiding pot holes to see this amazing place. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We learned so much about the rainforest habitat and plant life as well as seeing the most amazing butterflies and frogs. Castillo is a quaint little hamlet and off the beaten trail. The people who run this conservatory were very informative and friendly.

Live Frogs, flower garden and exotic insect specimens. The tour was excellent and we learned so much about the area.

The best part was the knowledge of the assistants and of course the butterflies themselves. they had many tented structures full of different butterflies and frogs. We spent about 3 hours touring/hiking the place and enjoyed it thoroughly.

we were there today and had a great time. we got a short introduction from glenn the owner of the house not only about the importance the conservatory for the region but also a bit about the history and developement of the region before and after the break out of the volcano.inside the conservatory there are several butterfly houses where the butterflies (small and big) around and you can watch them really close. guides are all around so you get useful information on the way. the walks there are very nice too. we were also at the snake house nearby and we would recommend the butterfly house over the sanke house if you have to choose!thank you!

Not only is this place home to some of the most amazing nature my girlfriend and I have ever seen, but the work the do is truly noble. This place is a conservatory, obsevatory, and small nature reserve. The money they make goes to research and the work they do for butterflies and frogs is great. Super informative and such a treat to see. Plus, they have a little 1/2 Km long trail in the back that's really nice to explore.

The conservatory is a gem! Very educational and fun. We learned lots of facts about butterflies and the species specific to Costa Rica. Each conservatory is considered a guided tour - each led by a very enthusiastic tour guide. The tour guides we had all speak perfect English: they all moved there from the States!! The three butterfly conservatories each housed different kinds of butterfly, based on habitats. Plenty of butterflies in each room - colorful, plentiful, mesmerizing! The frogs conservatory was a lot of fun but we felt REALLY rushed there. The guide literally went through all the species in about five minutes and ushered us out for the rainforest walk. I actually would have preferred to be left alone in the conservatory and spent some time looking at the frogs! The walk through the rainforest was relaxing. We saw a few howler monkeys in the trees along the way. It's a pretty easy walk for about an hour, and hardly a strenuous hike, so it is suitable for younger kids. All in all, a very visit!

Camilla did a great job explaining butterfly species and gave our little group plenty of time to enjoy the tour. There were 3-4 butterfly habitats with plenty of butterflies and local plants, and a separate frog habitat in cages. Their specialty is preserving, protecting and reintroducing butterflies to the wild. Before the tour we got an excellent explanation of the butterfly reproductive cycle from a staff member at the front desk. All of the staff were very knowledgable and could speak excellent English. Definitely recommend visiting if you are in El Castillo.

Most of the people who work here are volunteers and they are really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our guide was Camilla and she was full of information and fun! There are four conservatories with different butterfly habitats and also a separate frog habitat, and all the butterflies are actually raised here. We then spent some time walking the wonderful trails which were well maintained. On a clear day there is also the bonus of a fabulous view of the volcano. Highly recommended!
