Acapulco Botanical Garden, Botanical garden in Acapulco, Mexico.
The Acapulco Botanical Garden is a facility set within subtropical deciduous forest that occupies hilly terrain with natural streams flowing through it. Collections of palms, desert plants, hardwoods, and flowering trees create a varied landscape across the grounds.
The facility began as a scientific initiative in the early 2000s to protect regional plant species. It has since developed into an established center focused on research and nature conservation.
The garden serves as a place where people come to learn about tropical plant life and forest ecosystems. Visitors of all ages can participate in educational activities that help them understand the natural world.
Access to different areas is made easier through an elevator system, which accommodates various fitness levels. Marked trails guide visitors safely through the grounds and offer opportunities to observe local wildlife.
The grounds span multiple elevation levels, allowing visitors to experience different forest types and climates within a single visit. These elevation changes make it possible to observe how vegetation shifts as altitude increases.

Guerrero brings together Pacific coastline, colonial towns, and archaeological sites from pre-Hispanic civilizations. The landscape ranges from sandy beaches and offshore islands to cave systems and waterfalls in the mountainous interior of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Taxco displays baroque churches and silver mining heritage, while Acapulco combines modern resort areas with historical fortifications. The region preserves traces of different eras: Tehuacalco and Teopantecuanitlan document indigenous settlements, Santa Prisca Church showcases eighteenth-century colonial architecture, and Fort San Diego recalls the defensive structures of the colonial period. Natural spaces such as Cacahuamilpa Caves, the botanical garden in Acapulco, and remote beaches near Troncones or Barra de Potosí offer contrast to the cultural sites. The cliffs at La Quebrada and the bays around Zihuatanejo rank among the better-known coastal points, while smaller places like Ixcateopan present local history and rural life.
