The Butterfly House — Attraction in Medellín

Visiting the Butterfly House at Medellín’s Botanical Garden was a truly memorable experience. This quiet sanctuary of fluttering wings and vibrant colours feels like stepping into a living painting. Sunny days are the best, since that’s when butterflies are most active and lively.

The guided tour (~20 minutes) was short but captivating, I loved learning about their life cycles while surrounded by delicate wings. The entry fee (around 7,000–10,000 COP) felt fair for such a special encounter.
