There are some slabs where you can walk through the Pools.

Bali Butterfly Park

It's tiny, which makes the visit about half an hour. We have to be very careful with samples of different stages of the conversion of larva into a butterfly. It is a beautiful place to visit and highly recommended if it is close to your route.

It is a nice place to see insects and butterflies interacting with each other. It is more appropriate for families with children because they can see how butterflies metamorphosis and we can see and touch insects as well. All those flying butterflies give a great feeling of peace and freedom. The place is very well taken care of and the guides explain very nicely the stages and the cares. It has no waste! And the most interesting thing is that they allow you to take photos with the giant butterflies, and another amazing sight is; the giant insects that blend into the environment as well.

This park will give you a feeling of being one with nature! The people who attend to you are very kind. The place is well designed.

This experience is unique since this coffee is only produced in Bali. In other parts of the world a cup can cost $20 or more and here you get a coffee tasting and free tea and if you order the LUWAK Coffee it costs $3. They explain to you the elaboration, and the secret is that everything is manual, nothing made by machines because the grains of coffee come from the excrement that ingests the best fruit of the coffee. You cannot stop drinking it and if possible buy it since it is a luxury to take this coffee at such a good price. Excellent souvenir for lovers of good coffee and remember to bring your mosquitos spray. Definitely worth a visit if you are around

Puputan Garden

This is a really open space featuring some relevant statues at the end of the park. When you are walking through the perimeter of the park, you can sit on the benches with great shade to give a relaxing moment if you have been walking through central Denpasar. Here you can grab your camera ad take some photos because the location of the park is good just some minutes from the Bali Museum Pura Jagatnatha.

This is the place of the great bloody battle between the population and the invading Dutch denpasarese army on September 16, 1906. Thousands in Bali died that day, also the king of Denpasar, I Gusti Ngurah Agung. The royal palace was raised to the north of the square that served as Pasar market. This is the origin of the name of the city of Denpasar, north of the market. This is a very popular place to relax or just take a walk with your friends or family in the old center of Denpasar.
