    I hate guided tours. This was a massive exception. You don’t have to take the tour - you can walk around by yourself - but this was GREAT. They have a collection of native fruit trees, that in-season they let you taste/smell/touch. They keep native bees. They tell ancient legends about how Maya believe these trees came about. Hugely interesting for all ages.

    Three words - Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes, Mosquitoes. Wear long sleeves, pants, a hat and plenty of repellent. Better yet, take your repellent with you into the garden. Unfortunately, I think the mosquitoes there might be immune to the store-bought stuff. Worth the visit. Friendly staff.

    Well labeled plants. Birds (Turquoise Browed Mot Mot) and iguanes were a plus. The cafe was a plus with cold drinks.

    Nice to see plants, but the place is a breeding ground for mosquitoes with stagnant standing water. I would have liked to see some flowers too but I guess it was the wrong season. If you go, wear long loose clothes and bring all your mosquito repellent!

    THIS PLACE IS NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD TO FIND FOR THE LOW BUDGET ITS THE 7 PESO BUS BUT I NEVER FOUND ONE THAT TOOK ME ALL THE WAY THERE I FOUND YOU GO TO GRAND PLAZA THEN WALK 15 MIN. IF YOU GO BY TAXI ITS 100 PESO. THE WEBSITE SAYS ITS OPEN UNTIL 4PM BUT I ARRIVED AT 12.00 TO BE TOLD IT CLOSED AT 12.30 EVEN THEN I THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL GO IN FOR 30 MIN SEEING AS IT COST SO MUCH EFFORT TO GET THERE. BUT EVEN THEN THE GUARD DECIDED HE DIDN'T WANT ME COMING IN SO I LEFT AND WALKED BACK TO GRAND PLAZA TOTAL WASTE OF TIME.

    (Translated by Google) I went to the Kusamono and bonsai workshops. Well-kept facilities. The people and students who collaborate there are very friendly and were always willing to answer your questions and help. I loved going and I wish they had more diffusion of their activities.
