The Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens is an educational research center and pleasure garden high in the glorious Sierra Madre Mountains. These gardens are easily accessible, just 12 miles south of Puerto Vallarta.
Located on 20 acres of land, our botanical collections feature over 3,000 different species of plants. Our gardens are in a unique tropical dry forest ecosystem at 1,300 feet above sea level. Against the breathtaking backdrop of soaring mountain peaks, there is much to experience: Palm Gardens, Rose Garden, Tree Fern Grotto, Orchid House, Jungle Trails, Tropical Bird Watching, Agave Gardens, displays of Mexican Wildflowers and the Carnivorous Plant Collection. The Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens is registered with Botanic Gardens Conservation International in Surry, England. We armembers of the Asociacion Mexicana de Orquideologia.

Our Vision: to build Mexico's greatest botanical garden here in the enchanted highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.
