Helia Bravo Hollis Botanical Garden - Tehuacán

Fun walking trail. Worth a detour!

Incredible natural reserve with many endemic cactus species, blue skies and beautiful mountains surrounding. You can get here by car or by bus. They offer tours arround the reserve, souvenirs and popsicles fravored with regional food. There is also a camping area.

This was a wonderful unexpected discovery. I had never seen cactus like this, our guide Armando was incredible knowledgeable. He shared his extensive knowledge of all the species we encountered. A MUST stop and if you are up for it they offer housing for the night. It seems like it would be unbelievably beautiful at night!

Very nice botanical garden showing off the different types of plants growing in the area. If you go with a guid you might learn a thing or two about them!

I don't have words for explain what a beautiful and extraordinary place I visited. Just I recommend you to come and explore the zone, the best time is to see the nature and the explanation about the botanical garden.

Beautiful place to visit!! Would definitely recommend staying in their cabañas as well! Not super luxurious, but they have everything you need and the nature surrounding them is fantastic!

I had a nice visit to the cactus garden. I took the bus from Tehuacan, and it let me off right at the front gate. I walked around for about an hour - there are a lot of cacti. There are many informative signs to tell you about the place.

This place is so underrated! It deserves more attention and credit! It's a nice 2 hour drive either from Puebla Centro or Oaxaca City! Our guide, Armando can speak english, and is very knowledgeable on the land. You just know from his stories that he has loved knowing things about the land and the environment since he was a kid. It's a shame that the goverment doesn't pay the tour guides salaries, and they rely solely on tips from visitors. I hope that the government gives more support to this area because it's exactly an experience that tourists would like to have when visiting Mexico! So when you visit this place, please make sure to give the tour guides a generous tip! You have to pay $45 MXN for entrance to maintain the place, but they have bathrooms, and a few shops that sell souvenirs, hats, products from the land (oils, etc.), and some snacks. Parking is available as well.
