Butterfly Conservatory Tours and Tickets

What a cool little place in El Castillo!I had no idea there were that many species of butterflies! We learned a lot and saw even more! We even saw howler monkeys playing in the trees on the included river walk! Very cool place!

This was a beautiful property. The staff were friendly and doing their best though it appears they were all recently arrived volunteers, so the depth of knowledge about the animals and Costa Rica were more limited than the professional tour guides we found at other experiences in the area. Still it was beautiful and the staff were pleasant and did appear to really enjoy the work. The back hike was nice and more natural than some others in area, and lower traffic. Personally I would recommend this experience after you've done the following, which are in the area: Arenal volcano hike Mystico hanging bridges hike / Zip Line Experience Floating raft river tour Chocolate and Coffee Tour La Fortuna Waterfall Hot Springs

Your experience begins with your ride to the Conservatory. Outstanding drive and views. Once there, it is simply magnificent. Well maintained, with outstanding plants and animals as well as the incredible butterflies.
