Botanical Garden of Puerto Vallarta

The Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens is located high in the Sierra Madre Mountains, in a valley, just 12 miles south of Puerto Vallarta. It features Palm gardens, a Rose Garden, a Tree Fern Grotto, an Orchid House, Jungle Trails, Tropical Bird Watching, Agave Gardens, displays of Mexican Wildflowers and the Carnivorous Plant collection. It was opened to the public in 2005 and will be a show-stopper in a few years when more of the planting material is mature. We really enjoyed our day. We had lunch there and the food is very good, not to mention the view of the river and the mountains while eating. Here are some photos.
