As one of Asia’s tropical Edens, the Philippines is home to at least a thousand butterfly species. As of 1993, in fact, studies disclosed that the country is host to 1,674 butterfly species, 44% of which – or around 700 species – are native to the Philippines. Some countries, in contrast, can only lay claim to around 200 indigenous species! Let these exquisite flying gems dazzle you with their glorious hues and graceful elegance, in the miniature Eden that is the magical world of the Pulilan Butterfly Haven.

Reminiscent of tropical rain forests, the verdant foliage and vibrant ornamental plants of the Haven’s gardens not only create a cool and soothing atmosphere for visitors, but also serve as an ideal habitat for hundreds of butterflies.

Scientists have learned that the sound of water can have a very calming effect. A miniature waterfall that trips lightly over rock formations provides not only a restful symphony of natural music, but also a refreshing counterpoint to the tropical heat.

Tucked behind the cascading waters of the falls, a small, man-made cave serves as a “butterfly nursery”, where chrysalises of all sizes and shapes await the emergence of adult butterflies. A play of light and shadows through a small “window” in the cave’s right-hand wall, gives it an air of quiet mystery and anticipation.

At the foot of the falls, a small lily pond provides visitors not only with an oasis of serenity and tranquility, but with an ideal spot for photographs. A little bridge arches gracefully over the pond, where a school of Japanese carp frolic gleefully between the lily pads.

Who would have thought that a Butterfly Farm/resort will have an extensive collection of religious images? Inside the Aguirre ancestral home are impressive wooden icons: a relief of Our Lady of Penafrancia of Bicol, San Jose and the whole expanse of the mansion is literally cluttered with images of the Sto. Nino.
