One of Huatulco鈥檚 loveliest and most interesting day trips, this 鈥榓gro-ecotourism鈥 operation includes a large organic fruit orchard and a gorgeous 500m riverside trail with 60 kinds of tropical flowering plants that attract colorful birds and butterflies. You can have a refreshing dip beneath a waterfall while you鈥檙e there. It's 9km northwest of Santa Mar铆a Huatulco and about 30km from La Crucecita (a 45-minute drive).
You can visit any day, but reserve the day before in person or by phoning the office in Santa Cruz Huatulco: tours are given in English or Spanish and most people stay about four hours.
