Back in 1996 Amira Mendieta-Eriks, who originally comes from Ecuador, and her husband Ewout Eriks, who studied Tropical Agriculture in the Netherlands, started their butterfly business "Neotropical Insects" in Lelydorp (district Wanica), a village near Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, located in the coastal northern part of South America.
Eén van de belangrijkste attracties van het Neotropical Butterfly Park is de educatieve rondleiding door de faciliteiten van onze kwekerij, het bedrijf Neotropical Insects.
