Vallarta Botanical Garden

Why go

The garden brings the region's tropical dry forest into focus alongside orchids, vanilla and other planted collections. The Orchid and Native Plants Conservatory offers a concentrated look at the plants, while forest trails lead toward a rocky stretch of the Río Horcones. It suits a longer excursion from the city, especially if you want a walk as well as a garden visit.

What to look for

• Orchids and native plants in the conservatory.
• Forested trails beyond the cultivated garden grounds.
• The rocky Río Horcones beside the property.

Useful to know

• Plan this as a trip south to Cabo Corrientes, rather than a short stop in central Puerto Vallarta.
• Leave enough time for the conservatory and trails; check the garden's current schedule before setting out.
• Wear shoes suited to forest paths if you intend to walk beyond the planted grounds.
