Butterfly Sanctuary Guided Tour in Puerto Vallarta
The Butterfly Sanctuary Guided Tour at Mariposario Jardín Mágico — the largest butterfly sanctuary in Mexico — offers a carefully curated small-group experience in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, with a scheduled visit on February 23 at 10 a.m. Groups are capped at just 10 participants, allowing for an intimate, unhurried walk through a lush subtropical habitat teeming with native butterfly and plant species from the Banderas Bay region, led by a knowledgeable, passionate guide.
The one-hour tour covers butterfly life cycles, local conservation efforts and the rich biodiversity of the area, and ends with a highlight that makes it especially memorable: each participant releases a newly hatched butterfly on its very first flight. Conducted in both English and Spanish, the experience is fully family-friendly and suitable for all ages, making it one of Puerto Vallarta’s most distinctive nature-based outings for tourists, expats and curious visitors alike.
