Monteverde Tourist Trap Tips by Srechko

Buy tickets to atractions separately

We made a mistake since we bough a package of tickets for snakes, frogs, and butterfly exhibitions and for sky walk in one of numerous agencies.

Late we figured that If you pay each fee separately at the entrance the price is the same. For sky walk nobody was asking for tickets so we could have done it for free.

Save the worst for the last...Butterfly Garden

I think we only saw 2-3 interesting butterflies in here. For $8 we expected more than that. As soon as I stepped out of the building, right outside I saw a couple of much nicer species...actually they were everywhere but in the Butterfly Garden.

Guide was excellent though and she made our visit interesting.

Fun Alternatives: Serpentario and Frog Pond are more interesting but they are not impressive either. I haven't seen hummingbird gallery - so check those out first and then if you still don't know what to do - go to the butterfly garden.
