it is small and in private hands.lots of plants and flowers in a small area.run by a family and some employees
It probably seemed larger than it actually was. The young man who guided us through was friendly and knowledgeable about the plants growing there. I recommend this as a good way to spend an hour in Vinales.
The guide was wonderful. He knew everything there was to know about the gardens and the flora. It is amazing what the hermanas created. A gem not to be missed.
Tucked away on the edge of Vinales, we weren't sure whether it was worth visiting. We were so glad we did. What looked like a jumble of plants in a fairly small garden off the main road turned out to be a most interesting collection of local and other tropical plants, grown both for flowers and fruit, including banana, papaya, cocoa, coffee .... The young guide who took us round was very knowledgeable and pointed out many things we would have missed. We even saw a hummingbird. At the end of the tour you are given a sample of the fruit that grows in the garden. There is no charge, but you are expected to make a contribution, which we were very willing to do. An interesting (and cool in the shade) way to spend an hour or so.
A wonderful couple of hours can be spent walking around this botanical garden, viewing the many exotic plants and wildlife that live hear.Our guide was very friendly and informative and quick to answer the many questions posed by our group of eighteen people.There is a fee of around $1.00 US to take photographs.
It;s easy to miss, but when you walk in it's like magic. Beautiful flowers and plants are just waiting for you. We had a really nice guide who explained a lot to us. He showed us around the whole garden, wich is really big. I didn't expect that at all! Really a great trip to do when you're in Vinales
We had a pleasant stroll through this garden. The guide books gush about this garden but it wasn't very gushable. The good thing is that it is only by donation. I think it has seen better days. Please keep your eyes out for the beer can tree.
well, in fact it's a private garden, rather small, kept by a family they live there, so do not expect a big garden unlike others in Cuba, but you 'll get a warm welcome,
We had a guide who really made our little tour worthwhile. We learnt facts about brazil nuts, ebony and bamboo trees. The sausage trees bear huge fruit, enough to knock you out.
I understand that this garden was started by two sisters who have now died. Some interesting trees and flowers. Just wish that the guide knew what bread fruits were (fruits that look like bread?) but he will learn.A relaxing and cool walk under the hot sun. A nice little break with friendly people. It is by donation so a 2-3 CUC bill is appreciated.
