<h2>What to expect from a Guided Visit to a Butterfly Garden, Costa Rica:</h2>Butterflies are among the most beautiful creatures globally, and Costa Rica has over 14,000 species of butterflies. A butterfly garden tour is an excellent excursion for people of any age looking to explore the world of these beauties.Tourists usually gasp or screech when they enter the butterfly garden because it’s so exciting. Our pro tip is to try and stay as quiet as possible to not scare the butterflies. The calmer you are, the more likely you will get close to them for that perfect picture. More than a few visitors have gotten photos of butterflies landing on their noses!&nbsp;Guides are friendly and knowledgeable and always glad to answer questions before, during, and after the tour. You can take a self-guided tour in some places, but it’s just not the same.&nbsp;You may see some fellow tourists bringing binoculars along, but this is entirely unnecessary because of how close you will be to the creatures.&nbsp;While you’ll want to snap tons of pictures, put the camera down for a few minutes, so you can just be there and take it all in. Notice how the butterflies move and the differences between one species and another. Let your curious mind wander.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>FAQ about a Guided Visit to a Butterfly Garden, Costa Rica&nbsp;</h2><ul><li>Where can you see butterflies in Costa Rica? You’ll likely see butterflies in any part of Costa Rica, as you are lounging by the pool perhaps. Still, butterfly gardens allow you to see a larger quantity and variety all in one place.</li><li>What is one of the best places to see butterflies in Costa Rica?

We visited Arenal and Guanacaste with my family. Emma Lasiuk created the best itinerary based on what we were interested in. Everything she recommended was exactly what we wanted and went so smoothly. All transfers from airport to different hotels were on time and very professional. The travel experience team answered our questions right away during our stay. I highly recommend Costa Rican Vacations.

I reached out to Costa Rican Vacations because they have an amazing reputation online and exceptional reviews. It was the best trip we've ever had! Anastasia was amazing and coordinated everything perfectly. I'd definitely book another trip &amp; she'll be my first call!

Amanda Farris Shook - Anastasia

My family and I spent 7 glorious days in Costa Rica. Rachel Peck put together a perfect itinerary. She was absolutely amazing! Very attentive to details and arranged unforgettable experiences for us. Many wonderful memories were made!

I worked with Caitlin Summer to plan and book our Costa Rican vacation. She asked what we liked, wanted to see &amp; do and then sent us a proposal. We made a few changes and then booked our trip. Caitlin did a fantastic job meeting our expectations-booking a great hotel with a beautiful view in La Fortuna and an awesome bungalow in Puerto Viejo that made us feel like we were in the jungle.

Sharon Sagastume - Caitlin Summer

Wow!!! All I can say is that this trip was amazing. It was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The scenery in this country is beautiful and breathtaking. So much to learn about the continental divide and diversity of the plant and tree life in this beautiful lush rainforest. The volcano in Arenal was amazing. The scenery changed every minute literally. Emma Lasiuk was the reason we decided to take this vacation. I told her what I was looking for and she gave me and my wife everything I wanted and more.

Anastasia made our honeymoon so special in so many ways! I can’t appreciate enough how stress-free she has made this process and fun along the way. She was always available even during our trip when I was feeling unwell the first few days and had multiple recommendations which had me feeling better in no time.&nbsp;

Cheyenne P - Anastasia

Perfectly executed 10 days of fun! Emilie helped us coordinate the trip and the execution was flawless. The activities were perfect for our family. Our experience in Costa Rica was made amazing because of Costa Rican Vacations and Emilie!

Monteverde - This is the best ziplining, really high and really long! Extremely safe and professional staff. This area is also the premier coffee spot due to altitude... We loved Monteverde most, as it was less tourist oriented, had smaller town vibes, a sort of lovely familiarity about it.

Roxanne Birx Vandermeulen - Monteverde

In Monteverde, we got to see Resplendent Quetzals building a nest in the Santa Elena cloud forest, and we had an amazing night tour of the Monteverde cloud forest... We saw SO much wildlife. Truly an unforgettable trip.

Manuel Antonio was the best. We booked through Vanessa. Everything was on time and perfect. Whole experience with CRV was mind blowing. I would recommend everybody to go through this travel company and Vanessa, she was so helpful. Thank you, girl! You are a rockstar.
