The Butterfly Observatory at La Paz , Costa Rica
This observatory displays over 20 different species of butterflies; and they soar freely while we walked amid the natural habitat.
There was on-site laboratory which allowed us to follow the lifecycle and metamorphosis of these amazing creatures from egg to caterpillar to butterfly.
T
he splendid gardens of La Paz are located on the slopes of the Poas volcano, just an hour from San Jose, in the central highlands.
This area is rich in bio diversity thanks to an altitude of that varies between 4,000 and 5,000 feet, allowing for both cloud forest and rain forest to co-exist. It was a truly magical experience.
La Paz has the largest butterfly observatory in the world, hummingbird and bromeliad gardens, a serpentarium, frog pond, and 5 striking waterfalls.
