Aventuras en Pico Bonito

The working butterfly farm located on the Lodge’s property breeds numerous species of colorful tropical butterflies for export to collectors and butterfly houses around the world. Your tour will take you through the nurseries, larva house, and adult enclosure for a complete understanding of the ecology and breeding of these colorful creatures. You will surely want to spend extra time in the large enclosure, the “Butterfly House”, where the adult butterflies will paint a virtual rainbow of colors around you as you take in their beauty. The Serpentarium, located a few minutes from the Butterfly Farm, is a great place to see and learn about Honduras’ diverse snake fauna. Here you will be able to safely see some of Honduras’ most beautiful and most dangerous snakes. The facility was opened with a focus on educating both locals and foreigners about the myths and truths of these feared and frequently misunderstood creatures. The pleasant and short walk from the Lodge to the Butterfly Farm and Serpentarium takes you through areas of cacao trees (from which chocolate is made), plantain plants (a relative of bananas), and orange trees. You may take a tour of the butterfly farm either with one of our guides or with the use of a written self-guide available at the activities desk. Visits to the serpentarium are with a Lodge guide only.
