Butterfly Conservatory in El Castillo, Costa Rica
We took a little side trip to the Butterfly Conservatory which is located just outside of the town of La Fortuna in Costa Rica. It was absolutely magical to be surrounded by so many incredibly beautiful butterflies!
The Beauty of Butterfly Conservatory, El Castillo-Arenal
The Butterfly Conservatory is located in a little village surrounded by nature, close to the shores of Lake Arenal, the Cloud Forest Reserves, and the Arenal National Park.
Our Mission is to develop, and promote the support of environmental education and sustainable development, while demonstrating the natural regeneration of rainforest habitat, growing the plants and trees which allows the diversity of animals and creatures to habitat this area again, with a focus on the Butterfly’s and Frog’s native to the Arenal area.
We maintain over 1000 butterflies of over 30 different species natural to the Arenal rainforest. Here you will see them flying within our four Ecological Habitat Atriums, along with numerous species of exotic rain forest frogs that we also raise and release.
Here we are regenerating land that was cut from the rainforest 60 years ago for cattle ranching, into a Nature Learning Center on rainforest species in Costa Rica.

the blue butterfly legend (Costa Rican Rain Forest), la mariposa azul
Autor y Edicion: Rafael Castillo E.
(Rio Celeste, volcan Arenal, Arbol de la Paz, Costa Rica)
(Piano: Yipkc; voice: D. Goodrem; clips de la pelicula: Blue B.)
La mariposa azul
cuenta la leyenda que había una vez una joven indígena que sufría por la perdida de su amor en una lucha tribal, y lloraba mucho por el odio y la maldad de su tribu. Un día decidió ofrecerse como un sacrificio al volcán para que su Dios trajera paz, amor y felicidad a su tribu, pero al cruzar un río que estaba al lado de una catarata cayó y se ahogó; el volcán retumbó, y del agua salio una bellísima mariposa azul, en ese momento el cielo, las flores y los animales a su alrededor se volvieron azules; a los días la mariposa se convirtió en un ángel azul. Algunas veces se ven posar muchas mariposas azules en el árbol de la paz único en existencia por ese lugar. La mariposa azul es símbolo de paz, amor y felicidad.
Se dice que es milagrosa!
----------------0---------------------
Se filmó una película en Costa Rica basada en una historia verdadera, acerca de un niño que por su creencia que al encontrar y atrapar a una mariposa azul, ésta lo iba a curar del cáncer.
-----------------------------0---------------
La unica forma de atrapar un milagro: ¡es creer en él!
