Whether you are an Orchid lover, a bird watcher, a budding gardener, or just someone who wants to learn more about tropical plants, the Botanical Gardens offer visitors a chance to enjoy a beautiful mountain setting filled with tropical flora and fauna.
The brainchild of mother and son team Betty and Bob Price, the Botanical Gardens are home to a large (and growing) collection of plants that are indigenous to Puerto Vallarta and the Banderas Bay area, a restaurant, a river swimming hole, and shade houses where young plants get their start.
Located on Highway 200 between Puerto Vallarta and El Tuito, the Botanical Gardens just keep getting bigger and better. Come visit and watch us grow! Here are just a few of the events planned at the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens in October:
