About Reserva Ecológica y Orquideario Moxviquil
Hablando de Moxviquil
Una de las preguntas más frecuentes que enfrentamos quienes trabajamos aquí, es: ¿qué significa Moxviquil?
Moxviquil en lengua Tsotsil significa ‘tripas de gato’, lo cual es una traducción muy literal, que en el contexto territorial significa ‘cruce o encuentro de caminos’. Para ellos tenemos que remontarnos a tiempos prehispánicos y saber que Moxviquil ocupa un zona de asentamiento habitacional y ritual de los antiguos mayas; y desde esos tiempos, ya era un espacio donde transitaban comerciantes de los pueblos cercanos, que traían a intercambiar sus productos a este centro urbano.
Si quieres conocer un poco más acerca de los antigüos habitantes de este espacio, quizás te convenga acercarte al Museo Na Bolom, donde encontrarás piezas arqueológicas y un poco de esta historia.
Si lo que quieres es conocer la Historia del Centro de Formación para la Sustentabilidad Moxviquil, te invito a que este acerques a nuestra Línea del Tiempo.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There are two separate options, seeing the orchids and a nature trail. They asked me 80 pesos for each, but there were strangely no signs mentioning the prices, so I wonder if everyone pays the same amount. I chose the nature trail and the forest was lifeless and dull with no views. Definitely not worth 80 pesos.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ??great to relax in nature??
At $50 pesos (~$2.35)/person, this garden is perfect for a 30min wonder about. Especially, since the mountains and climb trails were not available at the time we came. We arrived at 3:30pm and the garden closes at 4pm. The orchid pass was great, and has many places to sit or relax. The only negative would be the road that goes along the garden - depending on when you go, there will be noise pollution. But don't let that stop you; the place is charming! The below pictures will be of the orchid area.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice, cozy botanic garden. Entrance was 50 pesos for botanic garden and 30 pesos for a hiking trail. Botanic garden kind of worth the money but hike wasn’t best. Not much to see. It’s always nice to walk in nature, but no idea why I pay 30 pesos extra.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a great experience touring the orchid gardens and greenhouses. Many of the facilities are up to date and dozens of orchids are labeled with qr codes that link to scientific descriptions. The trail through the reserve was very beautiful and well maintained also. Highly recommend!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place with an orchids garden and a 1-hour hike. It costs 50 pesos each. 100 pesos per person for both activities is slightly too expensive though but worth a visit

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome little oasis! The hoop house here is a treat if you’re looking for a little humidity after a dry spell in the mountains. Plenty of great flora to check out and spend an hour or two soaking up the smells.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A must see, if you enjoy flowers! It's a short Taxi ride. You can stroll through the garden and glasshouses, even sit and relax. Unfortunally no drinks are served, bring at least water! If you want more, there is a naturetrail up the hill with more examples of this beautiful flowers!
