Icod de los Vinos
Mariposario del Drago
Situated in Icod de Los Vinos, just across the road from the park that houses the famous Dragon Tree, it features over 800 exotic species of butterflies from many tropical locations around the globe.
First opened in 1997, the centre is a glass building, containing an authentic tropical garden. The butterflies can fly freely around the visitors and you'll be able to see examples ranging in size from the smallest, with a wingspan of only 2cm, to giants with an impressive span of 30cm!
The butterfly centre also has laboratories, where an extensive breeding programme takes place. Visitors are able to see different species of caterpillars, eggs or chrysalises - butterflies in the making! You may even be able to witness the actual birth of one of these attractive creatures.
