Overview

Don't wonder the Garden aimlessly alone. Tour with our experienced local guide with a biology degree from the University of Guadalajara.

We will spend up to 2 full hours touring the different planting beds, nursery, and gift shops. This includes the Vanilla Plantation, Orchid Houses, Begonia House, Cactus House, Rhododendrons House, and aquatic plant pools.

Guide will lead discussions and make commentaries based upon science, Mexican history and Mexican mythology.

After the tour you have several options to see more on your own including visiting the river and swim. Or travel to the historic town of El Tuito visiting the old picturesque main plaza. Or you may even return to Puerto Vallarta after the tour in the company of the guide. Lunch available at the award winning restaurant at the gardens called Hacienda de Oro.

Space is very limited on these small intimate tours - average size 4 people per tour.
