Ola Brisa Gardens, A.C. — Attraction in Colima

If you have any interest in plants at all--run, don't walk--for a one-of-a-kind tropical plant and garden tour at Ola Brisa Gardens. From the moment you set foot on this private property, you can tell this is a true labour of love! Set up in the hills of Santiago and developed & designed from scratch, the "civilized jungle" showcases tropical plants from various environments and countries all over the world.

You're guaranteed to learn something new, even if you're plant passionate like I am! I'm so glad I came across this randomly on Google Maps because it was definitely a highlight of our month-long stay in Manzanillo. Hopefully others can enjoy this botanical gem as long as Tommy is sharing his wealth of knowledge and offering tours!
