INBioparque

INBioparque is self-guided, or at various times of the day, if you wish you can join a guided tour through the park which is recommended as the guides can point out many things you would miss on your own. There are orchid gardens, bromeliad gardens, and many areas of biodiversity, as well as exhibits of frogs, the life cycle of the butterfly and various insects. Birds, caiman, small animals, tree frogs can all be seen in the park as well as exhibits of the pupae of the butterfly and caterpillars.

You can hold the various caterpillars and view butterflies, including the giant blue morph, in a netted outdoor facility where you can see the butterflies in their natural habitant. You can view the different pupae of the butterflies, which are tagged and named so you can see the difference between the species of butterflies and their pupae. There is also a store that includes artisan products from all over Costa Rica including the many excellent coffees grown here. Grayline also does tours here with pickup from your hotel; however, you can take a cab and join one of the tours at specified times and spend all the time you want there including a very nice restaurant.

"This is a non-profit, scientific association whose mission is to promote awareness of biodeversity and conservation." It is much like going to a small zoo, but with no cages. It is somewhat entertaining if you have nothing to do, but not worth a trip if you are going to have other opportunities to see wildlife while in Costa Rica. It is educational and reminds me of a place that an 8th-grade science class would go on a fieldtrip.
