“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.”
