Palawan Butterfly Ecological Garden<br />
and Tribal Village<br />
A visit to the Puerto Princesa City Palawan Butterfly Eco-<br />
Garden and Tribal Village is a must. It is one of the most<br />
76<br />
popular and most frequented tourist destinations in the city.<br />
Formerly known as the Butterfly Garden, this one of a kind<br />
attraction continuously draws more and more tourists to visit<br />
their place for an environmental and a cultural experience.<br />
This ecological garden promotes environmental awareness by<br />
means of showcasing a variety of butterflies, other insects<br />
and some other endemic and endangered species. Inside the<br />
garden you can find a diversity of flora and fauna. In the heart<br />
of the butterfly garden is this wooden stand which holds and<br />
showcases the different stages of butterfly metamorphosis.<br />
Unfortunately at the present time there are slightly fewer<br />
butterflies in there now as compared to how many butterflies<br />
they used to have there before. It’s just sad that the butterflies<br />
are not that many anymore and they’re not that big.<br />
But in spite of that, you can still enjoy the presence of the<br />
butterflies and the other insects and animals in there. As there is a<br />
wide variety of fauna added to the attractions of the Eco-Garden<br />
are animals and insects like the stag beetle, giant scorpions,<br />
geckos, stick insects, turtles and baby saltwater crocodiles.<br />

the city and a few short distance from the Iwahig Penal Farm.<br />

formerly known as the Crocodile Farm and Nature Park, and
