Did you know that Peru holds the Guinness record for the country with the most species of butterflies in the world? Just 3 kilometers south of Puerto Maldonado is the first hatchery in Peru where live butterflies are exhibited. In 600 square meters, you can explore and learn about the habitat of impressive Amazonian butterflies, which live surrounded by beautiful flowers and native, ornamental and medicinal plants.
How to get there: due to its proximity, the easiest thing to do is take a taxi in the city center. In addition, the butterfly farm is located just 150 meters from the Puerto Maldonado airport, so you can take the opportunity to visit it upon arrival or before taking your flight back.
