Immerse yourself in the mysterious world of butterflies
Monteverde, Costa Rica
Explore four tropical butterfly houses with a guide and watch butterflies emerging in Monteverde.
Ce que tu peux vivre ici
At the Monteverde Butterfly Garden you experience tropical butterflies at close quarters. Four greenhouses showcase over 30 native species in flight, including the blue morpho and the 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 introduces you in an engaging way to the world of insects 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 size is kept small and all age groups are welcome. Once you have paid, you can return several times during your stay.

Ce que les autres disent de Monteverde Butterfly Gardens
Many visitors experience the guided tour as the highlight: dedicated guides share a lot of knowledge about butterflies and other insects in around an hour, and people often stay on in the quiet, compact grounds for a long time afterwards or come back again with the same ticket.
Most feel that the admission fee is worth it thanks to the intensive guidance and information, while some find the small size of the site and the length of the visit too expensive by comparison. While many emphasise the committed team and the suitable conditions for the animals, others are clearly critical of how the animals are kept and handled.
Several visitors were surprised that, alongside butterflies, there is a strong focus on spiders, scorpions and beetles, and that tours mostly take place in English. Some only realised on site that a visit without the tour is significantly shorter than with the full guided experience.
