Go and enjoy the views! - The jungle location of the gardens is magical, you can see as little or as much as you want with trails all over to different areas of interest. There are signs that advise against hiking solo down to the river, which I heeded. Lunch at the restaurant was nice with the breezes blowing through the open building. Seeing the variety of orchids they have growing was awesome, I thought I saw them all in Hawaii before, but I was wrong! Some of them are so unique I really doubted they were real.

Easy Access to a desired location. - Buying our tickets ahead for the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens made the experience much easier...less than at the gate, and assurance that we would get in!

Beautiful and unmissable place for those who enjoy nature - It is a SPECTACULAR AND BEAUTIFUL place, they will achieve a balance between respect for nature and the design of roads and spaces that allow to admire it in all its splendour. It is a very large place, with many trails, river, bird observatory, vanilla plantation, orchid conservatory, suspension bridge, giant turtles, oriental ponds, giant fish, restaurant and many varieties of flora. You can spend all day and you don't finish it.
A plus is that there is Wi-Fi throughout the garden.
I think the cost is fair for the effort and work invested in this place.
There is also a restaurant and souvenir shop, the views are equal to other restaurants in Puerto Vallarta, a dish at $200 to $300 pesos so it is completely worth it.
Eye: you have to remember that it is a place in the mountains, forested middle jungle, so it is for people who like nature and change a lot, that has no problems with heat or humidity because ideal is to take advantage of the entrance and be a good time.
The recommendation is to bring your mosquito repellent.
I congratulate the association or board that makes it possible for this place to exist.

More than meets the eye. - Such a beautiful setting in the mountains. We arrived right at 9:00am and were met with an astonishing self guided tour of these gardens. Butterflies, peacocks, birds, so many different trees, flowers, cacti, pathways, the river, vanilla beans, chocolate pods, a very good restaurant, historic church. This is a place to relax, stroll, and spend a wonderful day.

Just buy tickets at the gate - The gardens were beautiful, restaurant was delicious. We did not get a welcome flower or drink as stated in the booking. It is cheaper to just buy your ticket at the gardens. There was no line.
