We really enjoyed the tour, it was a very beautiful and interesting experience, we really liked the decoration of everything
This tour only runs with 5 people . They did not contact me prior that the tour had been cancelled . On the day apparently the other 4 did not show up so it had been cancelled.. it makes no sense as if that where the case the tour would have gone ahead as there are no refunds after 24 hours . Anyway very disappointed. Operator really needs to work on their communication with guests .
The experience was amazing, we saw and learned a lot about butterflies 🦋 The walk on the map of Colombia was also amazing. Very interesting, I would repeat it!
Absolutely magical. The butterfly house was a little slice of heaven. Forget your troubles and lose yourself in the fluttering of wings. The whole place is wonderful. The education centre is so important for local children. Bravo Andoke!
