Bulgaria, owing to its geographic location, varied relief and climatic
factors, has a rich butterfly and moth fauna (more than 3000 species have been recorded). There are 208 native butterfly species. The unique character of the Bulgarian butterfly fauna is determined by a number Balkan-Anatolian and Balkan-Turanic species living in the southern part of the country, as well as, a lot of endemics (more than 30) and glacial relicts, which occupy the subalpine and alpine belts of the high mountains.

to Europe and considered globally threatened. There are many sites with
well preserved butterfly habitats, especially in the some river valleys and the national park areas of Stara Planina, Rila and Pirin mountains.

Whitin the tours we can see more than 100 species of butterflies,
including some which can be found only here and hardly anywhere else.

Good number of bird species (around 100) as well as hundreds of plants will be recorded.
