Beautiful and unmissable place for those who enjoy nature - It is a SPECTACULAR AND BEAUTIFUL place, they will achieve a balance between respect for nature and the design of roads and spaces that allow to admire it in all its splendour. It is a very large place, with many trails, river, bird observatory, vanilla plantation, orchid conservatory, suspension bridge, giant turtles, oriental ponds, giant fish, restaurant and many varieties of flora. You can spend all day and you don't finish it.
A plus is that there is Wi-Fi throughout the garden.
I think the cost is fair for the effort and work invested in this place.
There is also a restaurant and souvenir shop, the views are equal to other restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, a dish at $200 to $300 pesos so it is completely worth it.
Eye: you have to remember that it is a place in the mountains, forested middle jungle, so it is for people who like nature and change a lot, that has no problems with heat or humidity because ideal is to take advantage of the entrance and be a good time.
The recommendation is to bring your mosquito repellent.
I congratulate the association or board that makes it possible for this place to exist.

More than meets the eye. - Such a beautiful setting in the mountains. We arrived right at 9:00am and were met with an astonishing self guided tour of these gardens. Butterflies, peacocks, birds, so many different trees, flowers, cacti, pathways, the river, vanilla beans, chocolate pods, a very good restaurant, historic church. This is a place to relax, stroll, and spend a wonderful day.

Spectacular! - 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.

Gorgeous Botanical Gardens near the top of the mountain outside of Puerto Vallarta. - I enjoyed walking down the path to the river, the plants were unusual and the colors spectacular. The restaurant was lovely and we enjoyed watching birds and hummingbirds while having lunch.

Amazing experience - The gardens were so amazing! I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting PV. We saw peacocks, climbed rocks near the river, and went off on a few bikes.
My only complaint is that I did not get the flowers that the ticket said I would upon entry. Otherwise, it was a magical experience.

Plant lovers delight! - Good to get away from the beach and craziness of downtown PV.
The uphill / mountain part of Cheetah trail is not for everyone. It is fairly steep and uneven. But getting to the river can be done easily from the other side of Cheetah loop. Definetly walk down to the river.
The restaurant on site is also worth experiencing. Food is quite good the service is excellent and the views are WONDERFUL
The ride to the gardens takes you along other beach areas and forested mountains.

Just buy tickets at the gate - The gardens were beautiful, restaurant was delicious. We did not get a welcome flower or drink as stated in the booking. It is cheaper to just buy your ticket at the gardens. There was no line.
