About Botanical Garden Hike

This tour combines nature, culture, and adventure in a single day. It starts with a visit to the Vallarta Botanical Garden, one of Mexico's most spectacular spots and home to the country's most visited orchid collection.

From the garden, you walk a beautiful nearly 2 km trail along the banks of the Río Horcones to Los Veranos Adventure Park. A moderate-level hike, perfect for those who enjoy light outdoor activity through jungle and river scenery.

Back at Los Veranos, you can have fun in the river, kayak, ride the water slides, and visit the government-authorized rescued animal sanctuary, home to monkeys, turtles, iguanas, macaws, and toucans.

To wrap up, enjoy a tequila tasting experience where you learn about the production process and sample different blends. A full day that mixes nature, culture, and the flavors of Mexico.
