This is one of the most fantastic experiences I ever had. In Mexican paradise, obviously. I visited Lo de Perla Jungle Garden and found a large variety of regional orchids… read more and hundreds of different plants, including cacti growing on pyramids overlooking the sea, as well…Más

  Tomamos un autobús desde Bucerias con 2 niños (1 bebé y un niño de 3 años) a un pequeño pueblo de Las Lomas (unos 5 km) al norte de San… read more Pancho. Los guías turísticos hacen un gran trabajo y disfrutamos de la jungla. Eran como…las 2. 5 horas. 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.

  Se trata de una experiencia tan única y popular como existe. Alejandro y José han creado algo bello y auténtico. Vincente es el perfecto anfitrión y maestro. V nos recogió… read more y nos llevó de regreso a San Pancho y organizó un brillante recorrido por los…jardines y la historia, los animales y los terrenos con una pasión y honestidad tan obvias. José se unió a nosotros durante la mayor parte del recorrido y, aunque solo hablaba en su lengua nativa, su pasión era clara y el mensaje se transmitía fácilmente. Este no es su tour estándar para los gringos con almuerzo y lujo, sino una vista fuera de lo común en lo que la pasión de algunas personas puede manifestar. Es para los amantes de las plantas. Es un poco caro en general. No nos importó, ya que nos apasionan las orquídeas y otras especies de flora, y tuvimos un recorrido personalizado, pero podría ser prohibitivo para las familias a 500 pesos cada una. No para los niños que dependen de una pantalla para pasar el tiempo. Se aburrirían. Debe ser completamente móvil para disfrutar de este recorrido, ya que se encuentra en senderos escarpados, pero tal vez a media milla de sendero como máximo. Podrías parar en cualquier parte y discutir para siempre las innumerables plantas que la rodean. El acceso podría ser desarrollado para traer todo tipo de tours, pero espero que eso no suceda. Es demasiado frágil. Una versión tan diferente de los "jardines" de los jardines botánicos de Vallarta, que, aunque son muy diferentes, también son excelentes a su manera. Estuvimos felices de experimentar ambos. Más

  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.
