Nature trail

Rachel_S, May 2025

This is much more than butterflies. This is a 1km nature walk. There is a portion with an enclosed butterfly garden. It is a really nice trail where you can see a bunch of animals. We saw frogs, birds, iguanas and a crocodile. The flowers along the trail were beautiful. Very easy walk and took us less than an hour. Great value and would recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Rachel, Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted you enjoyed the full scope of the experience — from the butterfly garden to the peaceful nature trail filled with wildlife and blooming flowers. It’s wonderful to hear you found it accessible, enjoyable, and a great value. Your recommendation means a lot to us! Warm wishes, The Ecocentro Danaus Team

Fabulous Nature Tour

Leslie_A, Dec 2024

This experience is more of a nature tour than a butterfly garden, tho there is a small portion of the tour dedicated to a butterfly enclosure. The nature tour was fantastic tho. Our tour guide was excellent at spotting sloths and toucan and we had a lot of fun.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Leslie, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the nature tour and had a fantastic time exploring the rainforest with our guide. Spotting sloths and toucans is always a highlight, and we’re thrilled our guide’s expertise made your adventure so memorable. We appreciate your note about the butterfly enclosure—it’s true that our tour is designed to showcase the broader beauty of the rainforest, but we’re glad you still found the butterfly portion enjoyable. It was a pleasure to have you join us, and we hope to welcome you back for more fun and discoveries in the future! Warm regards,
