Jardin Botanical The unique El Charco del Ingenio park above the town with its enormous collection of cacti.
The Jardin Botanico is a vast area just past the Balcones area (go uphill past Los Arcos, take a left, and walk until you get tired. Now you're nearly there. Or be a wimp and get a cab from anywhere.) It includes some of the older engineering installations (an old mill and raceway), lovely canyons, well informed guides (mostly expats) for the botanists and birdwatchers. Go early in the day to avoid the heat and for more wildlife. Locals who are members are sometimes given a key to the back gate - find one and buy him beers until he relents! The reservoir is host to a number of migratory birds, and the locals can be rather stunning as well.
