Getting There

  • Car

    If you have access to a car, the most convenient way to reach the Neotropical Butterfly Park is to start from the major town of Paramaribo. Head southeast on the Lelydorp road (also known as the 'Zanderij Road'). Continue driving for approximately 20 km until you reach the MQPX+W77 location in Lelydorp. Look for signs indicating the Butterfly Park as you enter the Lelydorp area. The park is located just off the main road, so be on the lookout for its entrance. There is no entry fee mentioned for the park, but it's advisable to confirm any costs ahead of your visit.

  • Public Transportation

    For travelers using public transportation, you can take a minibus (also known as a 'busje') from Paramaribo to Lelydorp. Head to the main bus terminal in Paramaribo and find a minibus heading to Lelydorp. The fare is generally affordable, around 5-10 SRD (Surinamese Dollars). Once you arrive in Lelydorp, you can either walk or take a local taxi to the Neotropical Butterfly Park, which is about a 10-minute drive from the minibus drop-off point. Make sure to ask the driver or locals for directions to the park, as they can guide you to the entrance.
