How to Experience Colombia's Coffee Region Like a VIP
"In Calarcá I strolled through the renowned Botanical Garden and Butterfly Sanctuary, which is home to over 1,500 butterfly species amid lush tropical foliage and makes for a richly biodiverse visit." - Boris Seckovic
Absolutely amazing guided walk around stunning park filled with wild birds and animals. Some hides were within 2 metres of wild birds feeding. Guide was funny, instructive and very friendly. A wonderful two hours in paradise.

We did a 2,5 hour tour with a guide in Spanish and it was great.

A lovely place to learn about biodiversity in Colombia. They are teaching and preserving very important things and our guide was very detailed and passionate about the work. The tours are only in Spanish so if you don't have a good understanding of the language or someone to translate for you it will be a struggle to get the most out of the experience. There is a cafe, shop and bathrooms and it cost around £12pp for entrance and tour guide, I don't think there is an option for no tour. The tour covers butterflies, insects, birds, geography and more. There is a chance to get up close with the butterflies. I hope they will attract more tourists with some translations to other languages in the future.

It has been an incredible experience. The place is magic and the guides are excelent. It is a 2,5 hours of natural contact, Museums, Nature, bird watching, and a lot of surprises. Incredible

It is a nice place to have a contact with plants and birds of the region. The price of the entrance is quite expensive if it is compared with other turistic places of the region. The most interesting place in the garden is the butterfly collection, where you can find several species. The full route takes around three hours. It is recommended to use sun protection.

Magical place to visit! A must if you're in Armenia, but keep in mind that the butterflies are active only when there's enough sunlight. If you're planning a visit, make sure you do it during morning and after mid-day, in the afternoon they stay under the leaves
