EXPERIENCE AN OASIS OF BUTTERFLIES  Few places in the world offer a more in depth view and appreciation of butterflies than Costa Rica.
In a garden/park setting, butterflies are raised in a natural habitat. Hundreds of butteries flutter around flowers in an enclosed tropical garden. This Butterfly Farm exists to help preserve these fascinating creatures.
In the garden, butterflies live, feeding, mating and laying eggs. Visitors to this butterfly garden may touch the legs of butterflies and discover how they hold on to plants. There is also a caterpillar room where once the eggs are laid, the larvae emerge and need to be reared on their specific host plants. The entire cycle of metamorphosis is shown.
 Volunteer Activities may include:
• Assist with the outdoor gardens
• Clean paths
• Repair signs
• Help teach about the butterfly process
All GeoVisions programs include accommodation. Most include meals, airport pick-up, project training, in-country support, extensive medical and accident insurance, extensive pre-departure information and onsite project orientation. |
