Entrance to the Butterfy Sanctuary with the owner at the background…
Another place we visited in Siquijor that is slowly becoming one of its many tourist spots was the newly launched “Island Butterfly Sanctuary” at Cabilao, Larena, Siquijor. It was launched last September
18, 2008, barely even a month old when our tricycle driver/tour guide
suggested that we explore the said farm. Entrance fee is just Php25.00
per person and though Peter and I have been to several butterfly farms
before, it would be exciting to see if this one would be any different.
The sanctuary is a 200 square meter enclosure that houses
around 20-25 species of butterflies, exhibiting pupae, larvae, and
live butterflies that have been produced by a Butterfly Garden in Cang-agong, which is owned by Dante Jumapit.
