Post from Tim:
We took a morning hike to Santa Elena's Butterfly Garden. What a wonderful walk. Clear blue mountain skies during the rainy season must be appreciated!
The guided tour of the garden started in the information center, where an American naturalist discussed butterfly lifecycles, species, preditors, and diets. Then we walked though different temperature environments - each housing butterflies that would be native to different parts of Costa Rica. During the tour, the naturalist pointed out each butterfly type and discussed the unique details of each.
After the tour, we sat on a bench for a while watching colorful butterflies hover around us.
