CRTSBFF-322 The Butterfly Farm & Orchids Tour $79.00
Our day begins early, around 7:30 a.m., when the trip begins from the principal hotels of San José and continues to the rural town of La Guácima, home to The Butterfly Farm and an ideal location for rearing butterflies. In a garden that is filled with over a thousand live butterflies, experienced guides explain the life cycle, the natural history of these insects and the farm's operations, answering the inevitable question, "Who buys butterflies?"
The tour includes a welcome cup of coffee, an introductory film about The Butterfly Farm and the natural history of butterflies, a guided walk through The Butterfly Garden, a visit to the laboratory where the larvae are reared to pupation and an explanation of the export process. One's visit is culminated by a visit to The Costa Rica Corner™ gift shop.
Once the tour at The Butterfly Farm is concluded at 11:00 a.m., the trip continues to Orchid's Farm , taking the Inter-American highway to the hot climate of Miramar at about 12:45 p.m. where a delicious lunch will be waiting.
At 1:30 p.m. we will begin to immerse ourselves in the world of orchids in Orchid's Farm where we will learn much about these beautiful flowers.
During the walk through the farm we will learn about the history of orchids, the hybridization and propagation of these in Thailand before arriving in Costa Rica, as well as their natural reproduction and polinization, quality control and packing. We will visit the extensive orchid collection of native Costa Rican species and hybrids.
The tour in Orchimex will be concluded with a sampling of local fruit of the season, and a visit to the souvenir store. We will begin the return trip to the Central Valley at 3:00 p.m., in time to leave each visitor in their respective hotel by around 5:00 p.m.
