Quindío. Botanical Garden

This Botanical Garden is just amazing. November is a great time to visit for fungi lovers. I advice going in the morning (ideally if not rainny) for best viewing of butterflies.

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to the Garden. I did not expect the additional information and display of the tunel system. My guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to learn about many trees, palms and local animals. The butterflies were beautiful.

After arriving in the coffee triangle 6 months ago I have finally made it to the botanical garden. What an amazing place. There were many photographic opportunities. The beautiful plants, birds, hummingbirds and butterflies offered an exciting visit. You are provided a guide that takes you through the gardens and explains everything in detail. I was lucky enough to have Dora assigned as the guide to my group. She is well informed, professional and speaks really good english. It is a bit of a walk and some of it is up and down hills across hanging bridges and such, but if this suits you, you will get to experience several different areas each containg different diverse habitats. You will get to see exotic birds from a little enclosed viewing area. Unfortunately you are seperated from the birds by large windows, but it is really pretty to see. There are also two hummingbird areas with feeders with lots of hummingbirds and a big tented area for the butterflies. It was a great tour and a great day. I cant wait to return. I hope Dora will be assigned to my group again.

Juan was an excellent guide. He explained a lot about the animals and plants in the park. The scenery is stunning and has some fun elements with bridge crossings and a high floor look out. The butterfly garden was also amazing with different varieties and tortoises. The tour took 2 hours.

Exceptional plant collection amongst walking trails. There’s some nice architectural elements too, and a couple places to watch bird life and butterflies. Note they only have guided tours.

It was a good place to be close to nature, we saw a lot of butterflies and learned about different tree species, they have bird watching spots but during our walk we also saw an owl 🦉

It's a beautiful place around a pretty area too. The entrance is 60K pesos and the tour takes about 3 hours. A guide in English is available upon request. They have a lot of information and share interesting facts about fauna and flora. The butterfly garden is nice and they take good care of it. I recommend it if you love nature.

Highly recommend visiting the botanical garden. Dora was our English-speaking guide and she kept our two boys (ages 5 and 10) fully engaged. There's a break in the tour where you can buy snacks and use the restroom. Suggest bringing bug wipes or bug spray. We loved the butterflies and the turtles. The bird house was a lot of fun too. We got to see two agutis and many birds. The tour was a bit over two hours.
