Fans of botanical gardens will likely enjoy El Charco del Ingenio, a 170+ acre garden/ecological…read morereserve in San Miguel de Allende. It's a serene, safe place to wander pathways and explore, even if it lacks anything as colorful, vibrant, or artful as (my favorite), the U.K.'s Kew Gardens. Between the attractive gift shop one enters through, the building that functions as a museum for what you'll see here, and the al fresco cafe where fresh-squeezed juices are well-priced and delicious, you might mistakenly think you're in the Bay Area, with far cheaper prices. It's very aesthetically pleasing. The actual botanic gardens are somewhat less so. A map of the grounds will show you the trails and the layout but it's easy enough to just wander. There's some art (very little), some created habitats (e.g. medicinal plants), a greenhouse, and a lake/pond to cross and see some historic relics. Whether any of this appeals to you really depends on your mood. If you decide to come here I'd recommend you walk from wherever you are. The hilly walk here from central SMA takes you through a really lovely neighborhood of high end homes before suddenly navigating a dirt path with tumbleweeds and cacti. All of this nicely satisfies the desire you have to see things because, once on site here, what you'll see is - I have to admit - less exciting. Finish up with a green juice and purchase some organic honey for those back home. Then enjoy the walk back to where you came from.

Just park directly at the location or get a taxi to drive you up there. Also it can be a bit challenging for kids and the elderly so I wouldn't recommend making the full circle. I would say to at least cross the mini dam since it was the most beautiful thing there. I also loved the abandoned villa with its ancient oven. The entrance was very nice and it had well kept bathrooms inside as well. Lastly, I would recommend bringing a bottle of water and to add some sunscreen.

We were there on time but waited around until almost 7am to leave. I get that they need people to sign stuff and do a brief (like 2 minute) safety talk, but we don't need to be there for an hour in advance. We traveled by comfortable vans to the balloons. We watched them inflate them which was quick and interesting. We loaded up into the baskets. We think it was too tight. each section of our balloon should have held two people in our opinion but in two of the compartments they shoved three people in. It was too tight. We got lucky that we had only the two of us in our section but I would have been pissed off if we were stuck shoved in with three people. Our balloon operator only spoke Spanish but that was fine. He seemed to be very experienced and knowledgeable about what he was doing. We took off and the ride was smooth. We landed 3 times. Each time we landed, the balloon operator radioed the van guys to try and get to us and they couldn't so we would take off and land in another field. In the third field we waited for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes we started to get out and one of the bilingual people explained to me that the van cannot get to us and we need to walk about 2 miles to the van. The reason the van could not get to us was because of the huge rains the night before, they made the dirt roads impossible for the vans to navigate. I get it, but we waited a long time to find out we needed to start walking. We walked through 2 miles of mud, up and down gulleys, through two barbed wire fences, etc... it was an adventure. I didn't have a problem with that, it was part of the adventure for me and I enjoyed the nature walk. What I had a problem with was the attitude of the guy running this. Tashi (I think I am spellong that correctly) is completely bilingual and met us at the balloon landing field eventually. He was very grumpy and explained the situation. I said ok and started walking. He just complained the whole time about how the rain caused this and people needed to understand that we signed up for this and they cannot control everything. I never heard ANYONE complain to him. Maybe another group did (there were three balloons) but no one in my group did. His attitude was bad. He was grumpy and complaining and trying to explain things away that had been complained about. I walk quickly and so does he so I heard this from him the whole way back but at a point I realized he had left all the older people behind. He should have made sure they were ok and should have periodically circled back. Once in the van, he continued to complain and then started in on the government and how they required van of a certain year and that's why these vans couldn't navigate the roads. He made what could have been a light hearted adventure into a grumpy unpleasant one. Yes, this took much longer than anticipated. As we returned back to the hotel, he said we could go get breakfast but then reminded us of the cost. I think he should have offered free breakfast but that would have been good customer service. And clearly, he was very grumpy. If things don't turn out like you expect, find the silver lining! If you are the face of a company, stop complaining and be pleasant!! Because of our experience with their attitude and customer service, we would not recommend them or use them again. We paid USD $275 for two people.

We did the 9 AM tours and enjoyed eating lunch at the end of each experience. I would recommend the tour company if you're looking for more outdoor adventures while visiting San Miguel de Allende.
