What is the cheapest way to get there?

This tour is sold in the tour companies from $99-$280USD depending if its public or private tour however if you are coming on a budget or just interested in saving some $$ Depending on what hotel or what zone you are staying, it can cost you as low as $20USD per person.
​​
"El Tuito" bus is the one that takes you to the Botanical Garden and you can catch him in the corner or Aguacate & Venustiano Carrranza streets in the old town area (right across from a Kiosko) It passes every 30 minutes and the bus doesnt have a color in specific just check that it says "El Tuito", sometimes it even says "Botanical Garden" or you can just ask the driver. *see image*

 

The bus ride is around $30mx pesos(2usd) + around $200mx pesos(12usd) for the entrance fee per person

 

If you are staying in Nuevo Vallarta, Bucerias, Punta de Mita, etc. You need to get a bus to Puerto Vallarta and in the old town area you get the "tuito bus".

 

If you are staying in any other part of PV you just need to get a bus to the old town area and here catch the "tuito bus"

 

✳️Recomendations:

1.- Arrive very early so you can be able to see the whole place because its huge.

2.- Bring a bottle of water and comfortable shoes since you will be doing a lot 

     of walking.

3.- Bring your swimsuit, towel, extra clothes if you are planning on swimming

     in the river.

4.- Bring your sunscreen, bug repellent, cap/hat and some sunglasses.

5.- Dont forget your camera its a beautiful place to take a lot of pictures.

6.- The last times that I went there was a FREE guided tour around 1pm so please make sure to ask the staff when you are doing your checkin so you know the time and place where they will be meeting to start this tour. (optional)
