The Museum of Ethnographic Botanics in Oaxaca is a large outdoor botanical garden, where many plants unique to Mexico and Central and South America, such as tall cactus trees, are grown. They have round and long strips, and it is said that these cactus are edible, and it is amazing to see them in movies only before and now.
Located on the side of the church of San Domingo, the area is not very large, basically the same area as the church, basically tropical plants inside, mainly a variety of cactus. You can accompany the tour guide with explanation, but there are not many English groups, and the meaning is not great if the English is not very good. If you are not particularly interested in plants, you must observe it up close or English and Spanish are good enough to understand the explanation of the tour guide, otherwise it is not recommended to visit the botanical garden. It is recommended to buy tickets for the museum next to the church, in addition to visiting the museum, you can have a sweeping view of the botanical garden in the corridor on the second floor, and it will not be exposed to the sun.
The garden does not accept individual visitors, there is an English speaking guide at 11am. Arrived only a few minutes in advance and no booking required. We didn't expect a large crowd but it did. The guide did a good job making the two-hour tour an informative historical and cultural tour. Highly recommended. The 100 peso garden tickets are shown on the ticket as a donation.
The Museum of Ethnographic Botany in Oaxaca is an open-air plant kingdom. There are a lot of giant cactus in the Americas, the largest is even two or three people so tall, absolutely shocking, and there are a lot of Mexican tequila, which is also very beautiful, it is worth taking some time to watch it quietly.
This is a well-worth visit to the botanical garden of Oaxaca, which is planted with plants with tropical characteristics of South America. Especially the giant cactus with two people tall is really super huge. It is said that these cactus can be eaten, the taste is still very good, in addition, the tequila here is diverse, it is worth a good visit.
