It is a space created to make the world of butterflies known, contributing to the knowledge of the biology and ecology of these insects, thus serving as a model to understand the importance of conserving the diversity of living beings.

Inside the Butterfly Garden the weather is always hot and humid. In this way it is possible to keep alive, throughout the year, tropical butterflies that flutter among the vegetation.

Scientists, students and school teachers, families with or without children, tourists, all have a special universe, truly exotic, in the Butterfly Garden, where they can observe several species of butterflies, including some of considerable dimensions, all of unspeakable beauty.
