The Butterfly House in Antón is not only a tourist attraction, but also serves an important educational and conservation role. It functions as a center for breeding and protecting various local butterfly species, contributing to the region’s biodiversity and teaching visitors about their ecological importance.

The best time to visit the Butterfly House is during Panama’s dry season, from December to April, when the weather is more pleasant. However, since the butterflies are kept in a controlled environment, any time can be a good time to visit. During the day, we recommend going in the morning, when the butterflies are most active and there are fewer visitors.
