Overview

Medicinal Plants Garden tour is for plant lovers. We offer an educational journey through our collection of medicinal plants. We have more than 120 medicinal plant species in our garden.

The use of medicinal plants has a long history in Costa Rica, and we would like to share it with you.

The collection of medicinal plants and the forest trails contain plants that are used in traditional Costa Rica and world medicine. They are commonly planted or collected by the local people of the area.

Beatriz is an amazing guide. She is profoundly knowledgeable about each plant, best uses, and how to identify them in “the wild”. This tour is an absolute MUST for anyone planning to reside or have an extended stay in Costa Rica. This tour is an incredible resource for learning about the plants medicine we are surrounded by here in Costa Rica. For anyone interested in the flora of Costa Rica this tour is the best $49 you will spend here 👍🏽

I loved this tour with our extremely knowledgeable guide, Beatriz. She has learned about medicinal plants through her grandmother and personal studies and is super enthusiastic about the use of plants for health and healing. She was very friendly and shared wonderful information about many of the plants. Definitely one of the best tours in Manuel Antonio!

Our tour with Beatriz was fabulous! She was extremely knowledgeable about medicinal plants and her passion for her work was apparent. We could have spent all day with her, we were so fascinated. We learned so much and can’t wait to apply what we learned in our own garden!

Had the most wonderful time with Beatriz, who lead our rainforest tour as well as the medicinal plants tour. She is very intelligent and knowledgeable about even the minute details of everything in the rainforest. 100/100 recommend, you will leave feeling dazzled and inspired.
