The greenhouses had some interesting succulents and cacti, but overall I was slightly disappointed. A lot of the areas seemed to be closed for the season/under renovation. Honestly I think I would skip this and spend more time at park Cedro del Libano. It was incredible (and free)!

I think the park could do better at advertising everything it has to offer. There is a butterfly ga...

Ideally place if you love contact with nature, greenery and expect great visual stimuli. It's worth spending at least 2 hours and exploring the entire site. The downside is that some sections look neglected and very unattractive, even smelly... I think some sections need better care
