The tour includes a guided trip through four greenhouses which house the many species of butterflies, as well as a short lesson in the nature center which showcases a wide range of insects, and arachnids in live exhibits. Butterflies are most active while it is sunny, and warm so these greenhouses ensure that you can see butterflies year round no matter what the weather. Another advantage of the Monteverde Butterfly Garden is the diversity of species. These fragile creatures take extreme care to handle and grow. Every species feeds on a different plant, and some of the caterpillars will eat each other if there is not enough food. All the butterflies here were bred and raised on the premises.
