An island as unique as Tenerife has to host an equally unique attraction. This is the Butterfly Park of Icod de los Vinos: a small gem where you can witness the life cycle of the most beautiful butterflies in the world.
The uniqueness of this site makes it a true sanctuary in which hundreds of species from the tropical areas of the planet inhabit. Some of its so special characteristics are the strict control of the humidity and temperature conditions inside the butterfly garden to avoid the alterations in the daily life of these delicate specimens; as also the existence and care of the suitable plants for its reproduction and feeding play a decisive role, because each butterfly has a preferred variety where to deposit its eggs or a favorite nectar to drink from. As a result, entering the glass dome of the main garden means transporting you to a distant jungle place where a variety of small insects coexist helping to maintain the ecosystem created there.
But what is the origin of this wonderful place? The incubator. In the Butterfly Park, every few minutes a new creature is born. The pupae brought from different countries carry out the metamorphosis, eventually becoming the spectacular butterflies. Thus, you will see true works of art imbued in the wings of these beings that will leave you impressed by their ranges of colors and patterns that Mother Nature has designed. Maybe you'll be lucky and some will settle on you, being able to see them at a privileged distance. However, you must bear in mind that these become less sociable on bad weather days, hiding in any corner. We recommend you to be patient and not give up on your search.
Meanwhile, to know all the ins and outs about the life of the butterflies it is essential to make a short stop to see the interesting documentary that the center offers you. You will spend a pleasant time watching in live what is shown in the video. And of course, before you leave do not forget to take a photograph with the original wings placed at your disposal at the entrance of the center to bring home a peculiar memory of your visit to the Butterfly Park of Icod de los Vinos.
