Great place to visit and be outdoors. Learned about local ecology and history from Vincente, our knowledgeable and friendly guide. Saw some beautiful flowers. Go if you are in the… read more area. Flowers in greater bloom in May, but still a lot to see and learn.
Fui de gira ayer y lo recomendaría altamente. El guía turístico fue un joven llamado Vicente, que es encantador, muy agradable y bien informado. Aprendí mucho sobre la selva y… read more los problemas que enfrentan. Me gustaría volver durante la temporada de lluvias, ya que las…cosas pueden cambiar dramáticamente con toda la vida de las plantas después de meses sin lluvia. Es muy fácil decir que Vincente y José hacen sus recorridos por amor a la selva y al medio ambiente en general. Vincente Más
What a wonderful experience to tour the jungle on foot with a very knowledgeable guide, Vincente. He was able to explain the reason for the preservation of the jungle for… read more the orchids and other plants and trees but also as a habitat for many animals, including the Jaguar. The path through the jungle was easily walked but not for wheelchairs or mobility devices.
What a wonderful way to spend the day. The Jungle Gardens are a natural preserve that will delight the senses! Not too remote – but a world apart… read more from the hustle of tourists in the Riviera Nayarit region. I have walked the Gardens on many occasions since 2010, and the jungle there never ceases to amaze me. Alejandro and Jose are always so accommodating. If you take the tour, there’s plenty to learn, They love sharing their knowledge of the biodiversity there and in the region. Got a camera? BRING IT. There is no end to the boundless beauty you will find at the Jungle Gardens.
I will say getting here was a little dicey. We traveled up to the meeting place from San Pancho which was about 10 minutes or so North. The meeting place… read more is not marked. You can follow it with a map and still feel lost. We drove around the area and about 15 minutes after the meeting time we were greeted by our host. We jumped into his old Ford Expedition and honestly at first were a little concerned.
From there though, things were great. We drove about 15 minutes on a steep beat up mountain road. Our host had his dog following the whole time running behind the SUV which was hilarious. He also joined us on the tour walk and ran alongside on the way home as well.
As for the tour, we had a great time. It was just the two of us and our host. We were about 2 weeks early for all the blooms so there was not as many flowers around as we would like, but still plenty to see. Dozens of varieties, trees, bugs, and some great views of the ocean.
Our host truly loves what he does and it shows. There is a lot of pride here and it shows. The tour did not last as long as advertised. I would say from meet up to drop off it was only about 2 hours and advertised as 3.
Bring bug spray. My wife and I had some but still got A LOT of bites. Dress for the area. Most of it is under the canopy but you spend some time out of it as well which is much hotter.
A great experience and we are happy we got to do it.
