Magical butterflies and local botany - Fabulous tour by a restaurateur turned butterfly educator, botanist and mystical storyteller. Butterflies matched with their indigenous plants. Well worth the drive. Bring a small picnic and enjoy the lake

Wonderful informative outing. A little challenging to get to. - Very interesting experience. The butterflies were gorgeous. It was interesting to see and learn about the different species of native butterflies. It is definitely not easy to find. Our taxi driver said he’d been driving for 20 years and had never been there. The google directions sent us the wrong way first. We were glad our driver said he would wait - it would have been next to impossible to find a taxi out there for the return trip to the hotel.

A Must Visit in Puerto Vallarta - I absolutely loved this tour it was very educational. Everywhere you looked there were butterflies! It’s a little out of the way, I had cell service to order an uber back to my hotel (i have At&t) . The staff are able to help you order an uber/taxi if you have no cell service. As we were told by our tour guide this is different than a normal butterfly dome, it’s a sanctuary for native species to preserve the population. We got to see the process of how they collect the eggs, raise the caterpillars and release our very own butterfly. Definitely worth going if you love butterflies and conservation!
