| The
Jungle Butterfly Farm is
under construction in Costa Rica! It will be a project dedicated
to rearing butterflies native to Costa Rica. Our aim is to bring
people and butterflies close together in a wonderful setting.
Decades of expanding farms and ranches has seriously interrupted
the life cycles and habitats of many of these beneficial insects.
Our role in Pueblo
Nuevo is to not only rear butterflies to display their live
beauty to the public but also to release them back into the areas
where their numbers have been depleted.
The Jungle Butterfly
Farm is located
on a 47 acre tract of land which offers a wonderful hiking opportunity
through our rolling hills and mountain side. Our
location attracts a variety of wild life throughout the year. The
naturally stress free environment affords the local howler monkeys,
agouti and iguanas a chance to pause for photo opportunities.
We invite you to hike our rugged and beautiful pathways to the top
of the virgin forest that crowns our magnificent location. Not for
the faint of heart! Even the most intrepid adventurer should expect
this jaunt to take at least one hour. This self-paced tour includes
passage through the fruit trees, orchards and host plant growing
fields of the farm. Be sure to look for naturally occurring animal
harbourages. These "Exposed
Tree Roots" harboured a roost of many bats. Finally, wander
into the shaded and cool refuge of the river walk foliage and return
to waiting refreshments at our "Riverside Snack Bar" and
gift shop. All our guests are urged to enjoy the scenic river garden
trails.
Our gift shop offers tee shirts and hats for
those who wish to shop on
line.
