I like this tour because is not only a butterfly garden. The Monteverde Butterfly Garden believes in hands-on education.

This allows visitors to have an upclose and personal experience with the creatures as they learn about their

And in the afternoon you will get the opportunity to visit the Cloud forest, which very important for all humans.
