Reserva Ecológica y Orquideario Moxviquil

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.

A must see, if you enjoy flowers! It's a short Taxi ride. You can stroll through the garden and glasshouses, even sit and relax. Unfortunally no drinks are served, bring at least water! If you want more, there is a naturetrail up the hill with more examples of this beautiful flowers!

Awesome little oasis! The hoop house here is a treat if you’re looking for a little humidity after a dry spell in the mountains. Plenty of great flora to check out and spend an hour or two soaking up the smells.

Nice place with an orchids garden and a 1-hour hike. It costs 50 pesos each. 100 pesos per person for both activities is slightly too expensive though but worth a visit

????????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.

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:)
