Must see peaceful retreat

Kaye_H, Feb 2026

Wonderful experience! They have worked hard to make the whole place beautiful with lush gardens and hanging air plants, mosaics and metal art works. They have volunteers who speak English. We saw butterfly eggs, then got to hold a caterpillar, then sas the chrysalises with movement inside as the butterflies try to break out and finally the butterflies hanging on to the chrysalis until they dry out. Then we went into a very large enclosure to see butterflies everywhere among the plants. We sat quietly and the butterflies came and sat on us. After a while, we had to shake them off so we could move on.

Muchas gracias por compartir una reseña tan hermosa y detallada! Nos alegra profundamente que hayan disfrutado los jardines exuberantes, las plantas colgantes, los mosaicos y las obras de arte, pensados para que cada rincón sea una experiencia estética y natural. Nos encanta que hayan vivido todo el proceso del ciclo de vida de las mariposas: desde los huevos y la oruga hasta las crisálidas en movimiento y el momento mágico en el que emergen. Y, por supuesto, esos instantes únicos cuando las mariposas se posan suavemente mientras uno permanece en silencio dentro del mariposario. También nos alegra que nuestros voluntarios que hablan inglés hayan hecho la experiencia aún más cercana. Gracias por recomendarnos como una de las experiencias más especiales de turismo de naturaleza en Cali. ¡Los esperamos nuevamente para seguir compartiendo la magia de las mariposas! 🦋🌱

Mágica

Se inicia con un recorrido al mapa en piedra de Colombia con cada uno de sus aspectos más importantes, seguido de la explicación sobre la granja de hormigas y el laboratorio de mariposas. Se concluye con tomar mariposas y en mi caso participé en la liberación de tres bebés mariposa.
