You may think you have seen all the beauty Aruba has to offer by visiting the beaches, various shops and historical sites. However, there is more. The Aruba Butterfly Farm offers visitors a chance to be a part of an exciting habitat. It is a sight that is relaxing and educational as well as scientific and beautiful. Within a large mesh enclosure, you are able to be up close and personal with dozens of species at various stage of their life cycle.
At the Aruba Butterfly Farm you are immersed in a world of beauty. You are not observing form outside a glass window. You are on the inside actually entering their world. The vegetation alone is stunning, but look closer to see the life in it, on it and flying above it. Species you may never again have the chance to see such as the Blue Morpho are all around you. Don’t forget your camera as photo opportunities are endless. You even have the chance to handle some of the butterflies for a truly unique vacation photograph. Be sure to dress in a bright island color and wear some perfume to attract the most attention. Legend has it that if one lands on you, you will be granted a wish.
The Aruba Butterfly Farm is peace and tranquility. The sounds of the water features, the warmth of the surroundings, the calm pace and demeanor of the guides all add up to one of the most relaxing activities of your trip to Aruba. The tour itself is a learning experience for visitors of all ages. The guide will show the life cycle from egg to fully fledged flying beauty. All the while you are surrounded by stunning examples of every stage in the process. If you are there early in the morning, you may even get to witness the miracle of birth.
