Hacienda de Oro
A stroll through acres of lush greenery at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens is a nice break from getting sand in every crevice of your body at the beach. Finish your hike with lunch on the outdoor balcony of their restaurant, Hacienda de Oro, where you can enjoy excellent tortilla soup while chirping away with hummingbirds, chachalacas, and more avian besties.
