Mariposario Tambopata

We had some hours to pass while we waited to fly out so we went to the butterfly farm. It’s not expensive and if you take your time and enjoy the butterflies it’s pretty nice. It’s small but we saw at least 8-10 different butterfly species

Small but a fun diversion if you're killing some time before a flight. Only a few minutes from the airport and the Rainforest Expeditions Office.

Pathetic attempt at a last-minute tourist trap. Several agencies, for some reason, insist on taking clients to this butterfly house on the way to the airport just 200mtrs away. We almost lost our flight because of this. The place itself is falling apart, and is pretty small. I suspect that they try to atay alive on the back of the cafe on the back. Nobody in our group stopped - what was the point? You'll either have time in the airport for a coffee & cake, or you really are desperate to get to your flight.

I love my photos from the Butterfly Farm, we are very happy we popped in before our flight! You get what you put into something, try to take a great photo of a beautiful butterfly, it’s fun!

If you arrive early for a flight out of Puerto Maldonado make sure to visit the Mariposario Tambopata - literally a 10 min walk (2 min drive) from the airport terminal. Defense worth a visit.

Great little stop off to see native butterflies before heading to Puerto Maldonado airport

Nice way to kill time waiting for a flight. Right at the airport.

Nice variety of butterflies.
