Our guide, Vincent, led us on an incredible trail through a jungle-like area, pointing out different trees, plants, orchids, etc. We learned a lot about the environment and people… read more of Mexico. There are over 3000 orchid plants, with 65 species. We went in February, so not a lot blooming yet. April – June would be outstanding. Regardless, I would highly recommend this at any time of year. Muchas gracias to Vincent and Jose!

Nos encontramos justo al lado de la autopista en Los Lomas (a 5 millas de San Pancho). Vincente nos recogió en su jeep y nos aventuramos lentamente en unos 3 km por un camino de tierra muy accidentado. Vincente explicó los esfuerzos para preservar esta hermosa área de la selva y sus esfuerzos de horticultura para cultivar orquídeas. Caminamos por un sendero durante aproximadamente 1 km mientras aprendíamos sobre los árboles, la historia de la zona y el trabajo con las orquídeas. La caminata no fue difícil, con muchas paradas para descansar. Disfrutamos del entorno tranquilo y natural de Lo de Perla. El trabajo que se realiza aquí para la preservación natural es tan importante para el hábitat de los jaguares y otras especies nativas. Muy recomendable en cualquier momento para todas las edades.

  The Lo De Perla jungle garden is a marvellous place. I took the tour with a few friends in January 2020 and enjoyed every bit of it. From the reservation… read more to the pick-up and the tour through the jungle, everything worked smoothly. Vicente was a superb guide with great knowledge of the plants and the area.
The love and care that is put into this paradise shows throughout the whole tour and it is great to know that there are people in this world that have made it their mission to preserve nature and protect it from urbanisation and deforestation. The team of Lo De Perla does an incredibly important job. I recommend everyone who is even remotely close to the area to go visit this place.

  We spent the afternoon with Vincente walking the path up and down the botanical reserve. Warning – there is a lot of steps but the pace is slow and the… read more footing is good. If you have a walking stick, you’ll be glad you brought it along. We did not need long pants, long sleeve shirts, bug spray or hats as it is not buggy season. Dress appropriately. Do wear runners. We appreciated the attention that Vincente and his uncle gave us and so included a gratuity.
During this month, there are few flowers in bloom, which is disappointing, however we were taught that great importance is given to keeping the reserve natural and not force blooming the plants with fertilizer, etc. Will go back in a different season to see these plants blooming when they are supposed to. There is a nursery where there are a number of orchids and other plants I. Bloom so you can enjoy the colours.

  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.
