It’s no secret that Puerto Vallarta, Mexico is one of my favorite places in the entire world! In addition to the amazing people, delicious food, and beautiful beaches, there’s so many different places to explore. If you’re planning to visit soon, be sure to add the place I’m about to share with you to the top of your list.
The Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens are definitely worth the trek (they’re located about 35 minutes outside of the city). It was one of my favorite stops on our Hidden Mexico Tour, where we visited Puerto Vallarta’s southern mountain region. The garden has the largest orchid collection then any other Mexican State. The scenery was beautiful and full of rich, vibrant colors, fountains full of Koi fish and some of the most stunning greenhouses I have ever seen. There’s one section of the greenhouse that has a small library and a white winding staircase that leads to the top of the room. It’s so gorgeous.
In addition to all of the pretty flowers, there is, hands down, one of the most adorable chapels I have ever seen located at the botanical gardens. The chapel is blush pink and white, and it honestly looks like something straight from a Wes Anderson film.
I highly recommend checking out the Puerto Vallarta Botanical Gardens next time you get a chance to visit Puerto Vallarta. It’s a surprisingly affordable experience and you’ll be thrilled at all of the beauty around you!
