Fodor's Expert Review Mariposario Tambopata

Tambopata's Butterfly Farm has a large screened-in area full of jungle plants where dozens of colorful butterflies float above the leaves and flowers, and caterpillars hide amidst the foliage. There is information about the biology of those delicate creatures and a chamber full of cocoons, chrysalises, and recently hatched butterflies. The Mariposario is located close to the airport and has a small restaurant that is a tranquil spot to for a drink or snack.
