Lovely environment with a large variety of birds to enjoy, with small trails around the jungle areas.
Small refreshment area provided.

At US $55 per person, this is way too expensive, as we had seen and photographed all the same species at another nearby facility for 4 times less money.

This is a fantastic spot for photographers! Beautiful setting, both for perches and natural gardens. An incredible variety of birds, and great service to make out visit very enjoyable. I highly recommend it.

The Batsu Gardens is truly Magical. We endured the short "white knuckle" 4 wheel drive up to the Gardens and were treated with a fantastic array of exotic birds including what seemed like hundreds of iridescent hummingbirds!! If you are into "birding" , the Batsu Gardens is a "must stop" on your itinerary!

This is a special place, with great views and many birds, especially the humming birds were spectacular to see. An easy activity with a family, low effort and high reward. The Alma the Arbol restaurant at the foot of the hill serves great food in a modern setting. We had no trouble getting up the road to the garden with our rental 4x4. Recommended!
