Loved it! It is a place with medium level hike. You can go up on one side and go down from the other. It is like a circle if you go to the top. I didn't know that and left an empty bottle (i couldn't carry it) thinking that on the way back I would certainly pick it up to throw. But, no, descended on the other side. Was very regretful and shameful, so I asked forest how I could help, and found another empty bottle trashed by smb else ))) I picked it up to throw. It is silent. Trees. Eagles. Mountains on the horizon. Different kind of orquids and other plants. Ferns. My cellphone was full of photos. The place to visit. It is a must

🎍🐞great to relax in nature🎍🐝 At $50 pesos (~$2.35)/person, this garden is perfect for a 30min wonder about. Especially, since the mountains and climb trails were not available at the time we came. We arrived at 3:30pm and the garden closes at 4pm. The orchid pass was great, and has many places to sit or relax. The only negative would be the road that goes along the garden - depending on when you go, there will be noise pollution. But don't let that stop you; the place is charming! The below pictures will be of the orchid area. Let's Connect, Be sure to check out: @Brazilsontour (IG) or @OurPaperPromises (IG)

Wonderful place, especially for those having a green heart 💚. It comprises the orchid garden (there are more than orchids there) and the natural reserve. The tickets are sold separately (but they're not expensive). The natural reserve is a nice hill, which can be walked in 3 hours round trip (due to time I did not do it). If there is a group, you could have a guide through the orchid section. I highly recommend. Don Manuel knows a lot and is very passionate about all plants. Definitely a huge bonus when visiting this venue. All in all, one of the best outdoor activities to do in San Cristobal.

Nice place to run away from the city noise. There is some easy hike for a few hours into the forest. Good for birdwatching. Just probably could be slippery after the rain. And need to pay 50pesos for it. Looks like, available at some days hike/tour with the guide, that should cost a bit more. Small garden + orangery full of orchids, quite cozy. As well with some bunch of birds, like hummingbirds :) entrance: 50pesos. I definitely recommend for nature and plants lovers. Friendly and cute staff:)

Update on the price: 50 pesos per person, but maybe it's because I'm a foreigner (see my ticket for proof). It's about a 15 minutes walk from the center city and in the middle of nowhere. The section for the orchids is quite limited but it's nice to take your time to look everywhere and smell them because some smell amazing (like honey, cinnamon or even soap). For the price it was worth the visit if you're in the neighborhood.

We really enjoyed our afternoon here. The trails are great ( wear good footwear) the pines are tall and the forest is beautiful. There is a cave down by the river that you can check out. The orchids in and out of the greenhouses and other flowers were absolutely stunning! Friendly staff, and easy place ( 30 min) to walk to from Centro San Cristobal.
