Overview

Don't just visit the Vallarta Botanical alone and wonder aimlessly. Tour with our university educated guide who will mix science, Mexican history and mythology that brings every path to life. For up to two hours, you’ll explore vibrant gardens and hothouses while hearing fascinating stories that blend science, folklore, and history. Around midday, enjoy a leisurely break for lunch at the award-winning Hacienda de Oro restaurant, where delicious food pairs (not included) with breathtaking views of the river canyon and gardens. Afterward, a gentle 15 to 20 minute (optional) easy guided walk leads you to the sparkling Horkenos River, where you can swim, relax, or simply admire the peaceful river float by. 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.

Cool Puerto Vallarta wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Puerto Vallarta over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
