Lonely Planet review for Jardín Botánico el Charco del Ingenio
On the hilltop 1.5km northeast of town is the 88-hectare botanic garden. This wildlife and bird sanctuary, an ongoing project thanks to the efforts of local volunteers, was created by a caring local (who donated the land) to conserve a natural area around the town and to provide a recreational and ceremonial space for the community. Excellent two-hour tours (in English) depart every Tuesday at 10am (M$80). Monthly full-moon ceremonies also take place here.
