Fodor's Review:

The Danaus Ecocenter (Ecocentro Danaus), a small ecotourism project outside of town, exhibits 300 species of tropical plants, abundant animal life—including sloths and caimans—and butterfly and orchid gardens. It's also a great place to see Costa Rica's famed red poison dart frogs up close.

  • Cost: $8
  • Open: Daily 8-4. A two-hour guided evening tour ($15) should be reserved in advance
