My husband and I visited the Butterfly Conservatory in February of 2014. We had a wonderful time! The guide was so informative and passionate about butterflies. We learned so much about the life of a butterfly. Also, seeing all of the beautiful, bright-colored butterflies flying around was an amazing experience. Tip: After visiting the Butterfly Conservatory, head over to La Mesa de Mama (you'll pass it on the way in) for a delicious, affordable meal.

It was a perfect activity for our rainy day, it would have been a perfect activity for a beautiful sunny day, too. We loved it, they care for the rainforest by breeding and reintroducing all native species of butterflies. We followed the path from habitat to habitat, and then went back to every spot. Great pictures, learned a lot.

The conservatory is made of 4 butterflyes habitat. If you love butterflies you are not going to be disappointed:they fly everywhere. Moreover there is a frog habitat. I was a volunteer in the conservatory for 2 months and I really reccomand to go to visit it. All the people that work there are moved by passion and you can see it because everything is well mantained:the trails are clean and there are animals everywhere, all the guides are full of knowlodge and funny. My suggestion is to visit it during the morning cause you can see butterflyes hutching out and you can take all the time you want to walk in the forest. If you are lucky you will see howlers monkeys, tucans and maybe anteater, surely you are going to see the massive volcano from the gazebo.

Met by an Italian graduate student who spoke good English. She was very into her role with the butterflies and we learned a number of interesting facts. After you leave the enclosures there is a 20 minute hike back to the car through some amazing forest and over a beautiful river. Cost $14 USD and highly recommend.

The butterfly conservatory came surprisingly highly recommended by other travelers we knew, so we always planned on visiting. After visiting a small building on the side of the road with friendly English-speaking staff, you descend into the rain forest into a series of greenhouses with a variety of really incredible butterflies fluttering around. There's also some greenhouses that house the nurseries for the plants that sustain the butterfly habitats, as well as one for some frogs. The frog outbuilding was less impressive since everything - understandably - was in an aquarium. There was a limited amount of guiding and a 10 or 20 minute riverside hike that was a nice end to the visit. No wildlife apart from a lot of ants carrying leaves, but there are apparently monkeys at times (different seasons). A bit steep at $15/person, but easy to part with considering it's a non-governmental non-profit.
