Faustino Miranda Botanical Garden

Faustino Miranda Botanical Garden is a green space in Tuxtla Gutiérrez with different sections where regional plants grow and are labeled with information. A network of paths guides visitors through these zones to explore the variety on their own.

The garden was founded in the 1940s and named after a scientist who extensively studied Chiapas plants. This establishment was part of a movement to protect and document the region's vegetation.

The garden displays the typical plants of Chiapas and includes an exhibition of timber species used locally for generations. Visitors can observe how vegetation connects to the region's traditional life and practices.

The garden is accessible via well-marked paths with information signs placed beside plants. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to explore the different sections.

The site houses a seed bank producing tens of thousands of plants and maintains a large collection of dried plant specimens for scientific research. This makes it an important center for preserving regional diversity.
