Things to do in Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula: The Best Gardens
Hidden gems of Yucatan, such as Tulum, Akumal, Chetumal, Chichen Itza and Merida, offer an authentic taste of Mexico. Akumal and more Caribbean-style Chetumal, near the Belize border, deliver delectable white-sand beaches and great snorkelling. Merida, Chichen Itza and Tulum, with their ancient ruins, offer a passage into the Yucatanâs native history. Nature lovers can jungle trek and swim in subterranean sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water. Bike around the ruins and hop between towns in colectivo vans.

The Regional Botanical Garden is a living museum, founded in 1983, over the years this space has become an island of vegetation that contrasts with the surroundings: noisy and crowded urban area of Merida. This plant collection represents the flora and landscapes of the Yucatan peninsula, it is also the perfect place to enjoy bird watching, meanwhile walking in its paths and learning about plants.

This six-acre research garden is a haven for plants, wildlife, and humans longing for a nature experience in Merida, which has a fascinating culture, great people, and WAY too much concrete and hot sun. 700 species of native plants, 80+ species of birds, and butterflies everywhere at the right times of year. Watch for motmots, the signature bird of this part of Yucatan, in the selva seca, or dry forest collection. Sharp-eyed birders may see hummingbird nests. Different times of the year bring different blooming trees, most of them nectar sources for the native stingless bees being raised in the garden's meliponaria. Wear comfortable shoes and a hat and bring water and insect repellent. This is the tropics, and temperatures in the nineties are common (but shade helps). The garden has limited hours (M-F 9:00-1:00) with guided tours available by appointment for a 25-peso donation. Otherwise, admission is free. As others have said, the website gives the main CICY address. The garden's entrance is on Calle 49 between 36 and 38. A Google Map search is useful for showing taxi drivers. The Moovit app gives information about bus routes and schedules.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent here while on vacation nearby recently. I spent a few hours taking my time walking through the entire loop, stopping to take photos and look at the various plants and wildlife! I would have liked to have seen monkeys but everything else was fantastic and I am not disappointed at all. I would highly reccomend visiting Jardin Botanico Dr. Alfredo Barrera Marin! :)
