EXPANSION PLANS

Our on-site services will enable visitors to reconnect, energize, and interact along 4 pillars:

NATURE | SCIENCE | DISCOVERY | ART

This approach takes the successful model of the Butterfly Conservancy and adds components of art exploration, conservation sciences, and sustainability education for a stimulating, wellrounded, and unique experience of Costa Rica’s abundance.

Renovation Of The Visitors Center And Exhibits

A new focus on landscaping will add to the lushness of the landscape. Artist-designed educational displays in the visitor’s center will focus on sensory exploration, and it help it stand apart as an attraction. An eye-catching front facade invites people in to discover.

NEW CONSTRUCTION: FOOD, LODGING AND ART

Dining is available in the cafe on the 3rd floor of the visitors center or the cafe/observation deck with an amazing view of the Arenal Volcano. Overnight guests can stay in the Airbnb villas when they are not in use as part of a retreat. The villas have decor featuring bespoke textiles (bed runners, pillows) with matching robes. Bags, swimsuits, and other accompanying items are available in the gift shop.

ART, SCIENCE, AND SUSTAINABILITY EDUCATION

Classes and workshops on art, science and ecology are available as part of a lodging package, or may be purchased a la carte by overnight guests, international tourists staying in the area, or local residents. A shuttle bus picks up tourists from La Fortuna (30 minutes away) for packaged experiences. An expanded focus on pollinators makes it unique to the area.
