Don’t just wander the Vallarta Botanical Gardens by yourselves —experience them fully with a university educated guide who brings every path to life. For up to two hours, you’ll explore vibrant gardens and hothouses while hearing fascinating stories that blend science, Mexican folklore, and Mexican history, making each stop meaningful. Around midday, enjoy a leisurely break with lunch at the award-winning Hacienda de Oro restaurant, where delicious food pairs with breathtaking views of the river canyon and gardens. Afterward, a gentle 15‑minute walk leads you to the sparkling Horkenos River, where you can swim, relax, or simply admire the peaceful river float by for about an hour. The day concludes with time to browse the gift shop, nursery, and a final stroll through the gardens before returning refreshed and inspired. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a journey of discovery, relaxation, and connection with the beauty of remote Puerto Vallarta mountain jungle area.
