Puerto Vallarta has endless touristic attractions that are very well known for the general public, such as Los Muertos beach, the Romantic Zone, the Marina or the Arcos of Mismaloya, but there is a place that is not very known for the tourists and we have to say that’s unforgiveable since it’s one of the prettiest spots in town that offers a direct contact with nature and that makes you come inside a green world that you won’t believe.
We´re talking about the Botanical Garden of Puerto Vallarta, considered as the most important in Mexico for propagation, study, discovery, conservation and display of Mexican native plants such as the Mexican orchid, with many of them being grown in their own in vitro propagation lab.
For over 19 years, the Botanical Garden has created a safe ambiance for the wide variety of plants under their care, they’ve even played such an important role in the animal world since they’ve helped preserve the military macaw which was vanishing from the zone and now you can enjoy their presence here at the garden. This means that this place is not only a tourist attraction but a true treasure that we all have to help preserve and flourish because now, more than ever, it is our duty to take care of nature for our future generations.
And besides their biological importance, the Botanical Garden offers so much more. If you’re looking fot the ideal place to celebrate your wedding surrounded by nature in a place that will make you feel you’re in paradise, you can do it here! The Botanical Garden has it all to celebrate your wedding big time, their Our Lady of the Garden Chapel and Hacienda de Oro Patio have all the charm you want for your big day, and here they will be able to help you with all the details like the menu, the photographers, the flower arrangaments, furniture, etc.
And if you visit this garden and think that it would be the perfect place to rest for eternity, your pet can do it. They offer a service of pet cementery where they will get a pretty cantera stone and a personalized message on a hand painted tile next to the Bridge of Dream Slope or the Chapel Valley Slope. A last resting place for your pet that will leave a nice after taste.
Food is also an important point for the Botanical Garden and their Hacienda de Oro restaurant has an excellent menu that includes tasty treats such as the mahi mahi Botánico ceviche, the shrimp stuffed avocado or a delicious BBQ chicken pizza.
Without a doubt, the Botanical Garden is an incredible place that does a lot to help our planet and we should all give back a little. You can do it through their Give Every Month program where you can make a divided in automatic monthly payments donation. Let’s help preserve the beautiful nature of Puerto Vallarta!
