Wings of the Jungle
Discover one of the most unique jungle experiences near Flores with our guided mountain bike tour to Selva Alada. The adventure begins with a scenic one-hour ride along a quiet jungle road, leading to a remote glamping site surrounded by nature and overlooking the lagoon Quexil.
At Selva Alada, you’ll visit their butterfly garden and join a guided tour about the fascinating lifecycle of butterflies. Observe native species up close, take photos, and sometimes even witness a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis. Your MTB guide accompanies the visit and provides English interpretation throughout. For those who want to extend the adventure, you can also kayak across the lagoon to Monkey Island, home to many spider monkeys.
