Explore four tropical butterfly houses with a guide and watch butterflies emerging in Monteverde.

What you can experience here

At the Monteverde Butterfly Garden you experience tropical butterflies up close. Four greenhouses showcase more than 30 native species in flight, including the blue morpho and glasswing butterfly. Head into the insectarium and let biologists explain the fascinating adaptations of spiders and scorpions. The highlight is the Metamorphosis Station, where caterpillars pupate and butterflies emerge right before your eyes.

The one-hour guided tour starts in Cerro Plano, Monteverde. An experienced guide brings the world of insects to life in English or Spanish. The tour includes insights into the breeding chamber and insectarium, as well as free time to explore the gardens afterwards. Group sizes are kept small and all ages are welcome. Once you have paid, you can come back as often as you like during your stay.
