Jardín Etnobotánico de Oaxaca

Lovely botanical garden. Please note that you can only visit as part of a guided tour. These are in Spanish mostly with one daily tour in English ( you can see times on their website) participation is in a first come first serve basis.

Very very interesting tour, absolutely stunning garden with such an attractive well designed layout. Beautiful architecture. The tour was full of interesting facts about oaxacan history, culture, food, produce, flora and fauna, you leave with a new found interest and respect for the city :) this was one of our favourite things that we did in Oaxaca! One thing to note - you are not able to walk around and view the garden independently. Tours only! When we arrived it wasn’t busy and we were able to pay, enter immediately and join a tour that was leaving in the next 10 mins. On busier days you may need to book in advance but can’t advise on that

Truly a beautiful place. You must join a guided tour for entry, but the tour is interesting and the grounds are beautiful. They do offer English tours, but I personally joined a Spanish tour and still learned a lot. If I remember correctly, entrance was around 90 pesos. Definitely worth a visit - swing by the Cultural Museum as well while you're here.

The tour seemed interesting but was in Spanish and mine is only beginner understanding. None were available for the whole day in English. The tickets are a reasonable price. Quite a few interesting plants and the tour wasn’t too long.

I really enjoyed my time here, our tour guide Ernesto was very knowledgeable. But please note this is not the type of place where you can walk in at anytime, you must be a part of one of the timed tours. The English speaking tour is offered at 11 AM and at 11 AM only. Tickets are not able to be purchased in advanced (from what I was told directly at the garden) and the cost for a tour is 100 pesos (about $5-6 USD).

Beautiful garden that is well maintained. We found out due to short staff, the English tour was cancelled, so we joined the Spanish one at 10am instead. Great tour with informative and knowledgeable guide. However, some parts seemed rushed and were unable to truly take as many pictures as we wanted.

Superb. Initially the planted cacti look a bit sparse, but the area covered with walking takes more than an hour to get through. If you like learning about tree and plant varieties native to Mexico, then this tour is for you. The heat is pretty unbearable going there most of the day. It was 37 degrees desert - like heat! We went for the Spanish tour ( I had a translator ) at 5 pm and it was comfortable as the sun's intensity was waning. Prices are also very reasonable. Look out for ' La Dormilona ' a ground-only dwelling fern-like plant that folds shut when you touch it! I have added a video of this so you know what I am talking about. Have fun!

Awesome experience , the viarety of plants and trees is wonderful and the garden itself is amazing, especially the view from the upper level of the museum next to it, wich is part of it "but not included". There's a tour every hour and you can't buy tickets online. You enter you wait for the next tour and then you pay.
