Blue Morpho Butterfly of Costa Rica

Catching a glimpse of these most beautiful butterflies is one of the highlights of any Costa Rican trip.  The electric neon color of the Blue Morpho is almost mesmerizing as they flutter by oh-so-casually seemingly unaware of the excitement they create as they pass.


Many butterflies make their home in Costa Rica, in fact, the countries butterfly population makes up approximately 90% of all Central American butterfly species.  


Costa Rica offers many opportunities for butterfly viewing in the wild plus there are several dedicated Butterfly Gardens.  Visitors to our North Pacific condo in Playas del Coco can enjoy El Bosque Nuevo (The New Forest) near Liberia or at Monkey Park near Tamarindo.


Pura Vida Costa Rica!
