Botanical Gardens, Caguas

Matthew and I woke up this morning planning on going to Old San Juan, nothing new, then I remembered someone telling me about the new botanical gardens in Caguas. I heard they were really nice, so I told him we could at least try to go and if it was lame we could just go up to Old San Juan and have lunch. When we got there some guy told us to go park like two blocks down the street and a trolley would pick us up and bring us to the gardens. We were a little skeptical at first and then we finally saw the trolley come our way.



When we finally went into the gardens we were both amazed. Just the entrance was beautiful. It wasn't free, like the one in Rio Piedras, but it was worth the money.



We got lucky because they had a Taino Presentation, which I think was the reason for the high entrance price. They had little gift booths as well with Taino suvenirs.






The garden has this beautiful pond and a small stream that surrounds the entire garden.




The thing I loved the most was that these botanical gardens have way more flowers. We found some really beautiful ones.





This is a little video of a different group of Taino impersonators.

They even have a butterfly farm here but it wasn't open because the butterflies weren't in season. These are just other pictures of our walk around the garden.





We got a little hungry after so much walking and had some piraguas (snow cones) and hamburgers. I, of course, dropped half of my snow cone on the floor...never fails.

The rest of the gardens. We had a blast, I wouldn't mind coming again.
