Spend 1 to 8 hours exploring Vallarta Botanical Garden’s orchid displays, flower paths, forest trails, chapel, and Los Horcones river. A 1 p.m. guided tour is included from December through March. From April to November, use bilingual signs and maps for a self-guided visit.

“What a paradise! The garden is stunning and peaceful and bristling with colour, as well as the sound of birds. Love the focus on conservation as well as the opportunity to donate. The gift shop/restaurant is a sight to behold as well with all the memorial tiles throughout. We had a late breakfast and were delighted by the numerous choices for food as well as beverages. The presentation and taste of the dishes were amazing! Walking around is for the sure-footed as many roads and paths are the typical PV cobblestone. Walking shoes are strongly recommended.”
