The garden connects to Piedras Blancas National Park, which is home to more than 300 bird species. Discover a variety of flora, natural history, local biodiversity, and beautiful feathered friends after a warm welcome and an educational introduction to the garden.
Follow your guide along easy trails past different plants, flowers, trees, and medicinal plants. Sample some of the fruits growing here.
Among the most popular birds that call this place home are hummingbirds, toucans, woodpeckers, trogons, tanagers, and parrots.
