Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens
Getaway to the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens, a research center and pleasure garden high in the Sierra Madre Mountains – 12 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. Located on 20 acres of land, the gardens offer a beautiful mountain setting alive with nature’s bounty. Experience over 3,000 different species of plants at 1,300 feet above sea level. Journey along the rugged Pacific coastline, up into the mountains, through an enchanting jungle gorge past a majestic granite half dome, encrusted with orchids, plumeria and wild vanilla. Against the breathtaking backdrop of soaring mountain peaks, you’ll both discover Palm Gardens, Rose Garden, Tree Fern Grotto, Orchid House, Jungle Trails, Tropical Bird Watching, Agave Gardens, Mexican Wildflowers and the Carnivorous Plant Collection.

Vallarta Botanical Gardens is a major addition to the lure of PV. Over 20 acres near El Tuito, easy to reach by an El Tuito bus from V. Carranza at Aguacate, 15 pesos. Te restaurant serves up wonderful food, esp. the wood oven pizzas and big salads. Hike down to the river, wade, dip, take pix. Flowers everywhere and they are growing hillsides of blue agave for tequila on down the road. Lovely gift shop with jewelry, coffee, books, etc. Nonprofit so your pesos go to pay the large staff with all their watering and planting. Add a visit to your lost. I go everyime I settle in SouthSide.
