Butterfly Sanctuary, Puerto Vallarta - Our guide Danilo did an excellent job with the presentation explaining the history, life cycle, and identifying the various species of butterflys and plant life. 🦋 It is well worth the time and expense.

Great visit to Butterfly Sanctuary - Our visit to the butterfly sanctuary was very informative. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel welcome. We enjoyed getting to know more about the difference between a sanctuary and an exhibit and also learning about the butterfly species native to Puerto Vallarta. The release of a butterfly at the end of the visit was particularly rewarding.

Lovely experience, family friendly - Daniel our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The sanctuary is down a long dirt road, so just go for it! We learned a lot before going into the sanctuary and walking with the butterflies. The garden is lovely and the butterflies are everywhere. We learned how to find sleeping butterflies and their eggs. There is a special moment at the end, its a moving surprise opportuntiy.

An informative outing - We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the 🦋 sanctuary. Danilo was our guide and he was very informative and professional! There isn’t very good signage in a remote area so we weren’t sure we were in the right spot. Luckily someone walked us down and around the pond to the sanctuary. The bathrooms had no toilet paper.
