Visiting Us

The Mariposario of Benalmádena is a living entomological center dedicated to butterflies.
It is both a sanctuary for these delicate insects and a place for environmental education, deeply committed to the protection of nature, with a special focus on the fascinating world of butterflies.
Here, we don’t just showcase their beauty — we reveal their remarkable biology, their role in ecosystems, their astonishing survival strategies, the threats they face, and many surprising facts that spark curiosity.
Our ambition is for every visit to be more than just entertainment.
We hope butterflies become true ambassadors of nature for each visitor — symbols of the fragility of our ecosystems and a reminder that the preservation of our planet lies in our hands.
