Have been there for the second time. This man is really trying to make this place as a good example for a passion for life. We enjoyed this place again. It is small but you would enjoy the butterflies and the presentation.

If you like butterfly's go have a look they have quite a few different types and they are very pretty. The entrance is 100php per person but this goes into the development of the place and it seems from talking to the person who is running the place they have little to no support from the government which is a...
