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

  Aquí está nuestro texto para que lo revisen, está bien, lo publicaré. Ecoturismo Lo de Perla Jungle Garden. Pasamos una tarde agradable tomando este paseo preestablecido a través de… read more un área de selva preservada en enero de 2019.  Los arreglos se hacen fácilmente en línea….Tuvimos un tour privado con un guía local que hablaba buen inglés. 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.

  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.

  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.

  Lovely hike with amazing bromeliads, orchids, strangler figs, ferns, palms and other tropical growth. Highly recommend after 2 weeks on coast.
