In-Depth Information
Formerly known as Fincas Naturales, this private rainforest preserve and butterfly garden
breeds about three dozen species of butterfly - a delicate population compared to the me-
nagerie of lizards, reptiles and frogs that inspire gleefully grossed-out squeals from the
little ones. A jungle night tour (US$39 for adults, US$29 for children) showcases the col-
orful local frogs and their songs.
