Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The Vallarta Botanical Garden is still open and will remain so as long as possible. So come out to the Garden, where you can practice social distancing, while enjoying fresh air and natural inspiration – at least for the time being.
Bask in nature and let the inspiration flow
The number one priority in any emergency is to maintain calm and resist the urge to panic. While for many that may be easier to say than do, by changing our surroundings to places of natural inspiration, we can optimize our abilities to focus on the bigger picture and foster liberating feelings of positivity that our immediate stressors can hold us back from enjoying.
Breathe in the good and breathe out the bad
For respiratory illnesses such as coronavirus, it’s of paramount importance to spend time outside in the fresh air. Activities such as hiking trails or swimming in the river that passes through the Garden, El Río Los Horcones, encourage us to inhale deeply, expand our lungs, and celebrate the life-sustaining exchange of air that unites plants, people, and animals.
Be social, but from a safe distance
The Vallarta Botanical Garden has plenty of space in which you can avoid crowds and keep your distance from others, a new social norm during this time of a pandemic. If you choose to dine with us in the Garden’s Hacienda de Oro Restaurant, we are skipping a table between seatings to maintain an average distance of three meters from one party to another. You may also ask for a picnic lunch to eat out in the Garden – completely plastic and guilt free!
While there, you can explore the Garden’s inspirationally landscaped grounds, fascinating botanical collections, impressive plant conservatories and adventurous trails through the forest preserve, so come out for some fresh air, natural inspiration and social distancing – while you still can!
