This impressive butterfly sanctuary, in tropical gardens surrounding the home of late founder Julian Jumalon, harbours more than 55 species, though numbers vary depending on the season. You'll receive a lecture and tour showing you butterflies in various stages of their life cycle, and butterfly collections and artworks made from damaged butterfly wings – even a presidential portrait! It's 4km west of the downtown area, around P110 in a taxi.
The best time for viewing is the morning, and the best time of year is from June to February, when the butterflies are breeding.
I highly recommended it for you to see, for the small space that's there it's laded out very will. It's beautiful to see that the butterflies come and go as they please. The original owner was very God gifted in his many talents. The owner / caretaker now also the love for butterflies and his gift talent to keep the living and the past alive. To my surprise there were more than coloured beautiful butterflies and moths to look at, but you have to go and see for yourself. You can learn about lot about butterflies and stories from the owners. You will not be disappointed !

JUMALON BUTTERFLY SANCTUARY 🦋
It is a private butterfly museum located in Basak, Pardo. It is run by the Jumalon Foundation. It houses 50 local and foreign species of butterflies. I think, it is the only butterfly sanctuary in the province. It doesn't only have butterflies tho. It also houses heritage and cultural pieces of the Cebu province such as paintings and the likes!
