Learn all about the fascinating butterfly as you explore it in its natural habitat. The Butterfly Garden is filled with hundreds of butterflies of all kinds.

The tour begins with a 25-minute film showing that gives an introduction as to what will be expected to be seen. You will then proceed to the packing plant, where on shipping days, you will learn about the sorting, packing process required for the exportation of the pupae.

The tour then proceeds to the Butterfly Garden, a tropical garden where perhaps over a thousand butterflies live their lives, feeding, mating and laying eggs. Guides may identify the most beautiful butterflies of Costa Rica, point out the females ovipositing their eggs on host plants and feeding on flowers.

You will get to touch the legs of the butterflies (if you want to) and discover how they hold on to plants or try to find the lottery number on their wings.

Topics such as the role of butterflies in nature, their defense mechanisms and those of their host plants are but a sampling of the many themes discussed. The entire cycle of the metamorphosis is shown.

The tour culminates at the gift shop, where further questions about these interesting species will be entertained. Those of you who wish to shop for souvenirs from Costa Rica may start looking for them in the gift shop.
