This place is so underrated! It deserves more attention and credit! It's a nice 2 hour drive either from Puebla Centro or Oaxaca City! Our guide, Armando can speak english, and is very knowledgeable on the land. You just know from his stories that he has loved knowing things about the land and the environment since he was a kid. It's a shame that the goverment doesn't pay the tour guides salaries, and they rely solely on tips from visitors. I hope that the government gives more support to this area because it's exactly an experience that tourists would like to have when visiting Mexico! So when you visit this place, please make sure to give the tour guides a generous tip!

You have to pay $45 MXN for entrance to maintain the place, but they have bathrooms, and a few shops that sell souvenirs, hats, products from the land (oils, etc.), and some snacks. Parking is...

Original review 2019 - I had a nice visit to the cactus garden. I took the bus from Tehuacan, and it let me off right at the front gate. I walked around for about an hour - there are a lot of cacti. There are many informative signs to tell you about the place.

Updated 2023 - I returned to see the new UNESCO plaque. The bus from Tehuacan did not come to the same corner as it did four years ago. But, it came one block west, at the north west corner of 1 Sur and 7 Ote. It cost 17 pesos each way.

Admission was 90 pesos. And, since my last visit, there has been installed a nice shaded bench to wait for the bus to return...

El jardín pertenece a la reserva de la biosfera que cubre 500 mil hectáreas aproximadamente, de las cuales 200 son el jardín. Se le dio este nombre en honor a la primera mujer botánica de México, existen 2700 especies de plantas y 200 son endémicas, en julio del 2018 fue declarado patrimonio mixto de la humanidad por la UNESCO.

Durante el recorrido se observan plantas como el tetecho, (con su semilla se elabora pipián, también se puede comer como tuna o como alegría cuando está seca), el maguey pichamel (es endémico de la reserva), el pata de elefante (es endémica, da flor cada 5 o 7 años y puede vivir más de 1000 años), la biznaga (es la globosa más grande), el garambullo (de esta planta se obtiene la cera de candela que conserva las frutas y se utiliza para hacer chicles), sangre de grado (se utiliza como anestésico y para la dentadura), copalillo (se utiliza en rituales y purificaciones), árbol de copal, orégano, ocotillo, mala mujer (se produce pomada para dolores). Algunos animales que se pueden encontrar en sobre todo en época de lluvias son: serpientes, lechuzas, águilas, búhos, corre caminos, ratón, ardilla, conejo, tlacuache, zorro gris, venado cola blanca, puma, jaguar, lagartijas entre otros.

Los lugareños elaboran productos aprovechando los beneficios de las plantas, como cremas, shampoo, mieles, paletas o artesanías. Los cuales venden ahí mismo.

Al final del recorrido hay un pequeño museo y servicio de sanitarios.

Existen guías, lugareños, que dan los recorridos por el jardín, a quienes se les da una cooperación voluntaria.

El costo de ingreso es de $30 si son...
