About Walk to the Botanical Garden

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. It's a moderate-level route, ideal for those who enjoy light hiking through jungle and riverside scenery.

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

To wrap up, you'll 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.
