The tropical rainforest has immense biodiversity and our vision at the Butterfly Conservatory is to expand and maintain this demonstration project as an educational resource in Costa Rica to show what can be done in the Arenal area in just a short period of time to regenerate previously cut rainforest.
Our goal at the Butterfly Conservatory is to “think globally and act locally”, providing solutions through sustainable tourism by educating visitors, which also benefits the local community by motivating local ranchers and townspeople about how to best preserve and regenerate the forest’s biological diversity. There is clear evidence that planting and regenerating forests contribute to healthier air and water quality, and even small measures can make large differences in the atmosphere and health of the region and its inhabitants.
Coming from La Fortuna go west toward the volcano about 20 km. You will come to a small police booth on the right with the entrance road to the Arenal National Park of the left. From that corner just follow the signs for the Butterfly Conservatory 9 km until you arrive to the village of El Castillo.
This activity ends back at the meeting point.
The Butterfly Conservatory is a Nature Regeneration Project dedicated to the preservation, growth, and study of the rainforest, with a focus on butterflies and other tropical rainforest species of the Arenal region of Costa Rica.
The project contains the largest exhibition of butterflies in Costa Rica and is a learning center for understanding the butterfly life cycle and incredible metamorphosis experience. Nature enthusiasts of all ages enjoy our interactive educational demonstration of how butterflies and nature are being regenerated in the Arenal area.
The Butterfly Conservatory is maintained by tourist entrances and donations of energy from visitors. It serves as a scientific and educational center for students and individual volunteers that contribute to the regeneration of the rainforest around the Arenal Lake.
