Spirogyra Butterfly Farm Park Garden, Butterfly house in San Francisco district, Costa Rica.
Spirogyra Butterfly Farm Park Garden is a tropical garden with a temperature-controlled glass enclosure where dozens of butterfly species fly freely. The grounds feature waterfalls, flowering plants, and free-flying birds living in a natural habitat.
The garden started as an ecological restoration project near Rio Torres that turned an urban area into a nature conservation space. Over time it grew into a center for butterfly research and environmental education.
The place works with rural women from nearby communities who raise butterflies near forest areas as part of their livelihood. Visitors see how this local practice connects people to nature and keeps traditional knowledge alive.
The location is near El Pueblo Shopping Center and easy to find. Plan your visit for the morning when butterflies are most active and the lighting is best for observing them throughout the enclosure.
The facility displays tropical butterfly species native to Central America that flutter around visitors within the glass structures. This offers rare close contact with insects that are normally hard to spot in the wild.
