Jardín Botánico del Pacífico

My stay at Mecana Ecohotel was dreamy. Luisa and all the staff at the hotel went above and beyond my expectations, they were warm,welcoming, and made sure everything was perfect, from the common spaces, to the room and the unbelievably delicious food (even with my vegan diet, which they were able to accommodate flawlessly).
The room was located in a private and amazing bungalow, in which the sounds of the ocean and animals of the jungle served as lullaby.Every detail in the room made this experience memorable, and extremely comfortable and relaxing.
The views and landscape at and around the hotel are breathtaking, and what makes everything more special is that everyone at Jardin botánico del pacífico is always making an effort to continue to preserve the rainforest and sustain nature. If you love hiking this is definitely a must, the biodiversity in this place is incredible and you will definitely enjoy it.

We also went whale watching which was definitely one of the most beautiful experiences I've ever had, Esteban's expertise in marine mamals is amazing!, you will have fun while learning a lot from this incredible beings.

I can't wait to come back to Mecana, this was truly one of the best vacations I've ever had!

We had an amazing retreat where we got to experience majestic humpback whales in their natural habitat, a secluded waterfall, a one-of-a-kind nature hike, a local traditional dance, and much more. In addition to seeing many humpback whales in person, we learned a lot about them from our expert/well-educated scientist/guide and teacher. If you want to see and learn about whales in this region, Esteban is the person to be with. I highly recommend this location and experience. You will be in great hands and want to return.

Pura conexión y belleza, las palabra no hacen justicia a esta mágica experiencia, super recomendada.

El Chocó y sus selvas maravillosas...

Nous sommes allés à Mecana en famille (adultes, ados et grand-mère). Nous ne sommes pas restés à l’éco hôtel du Jardin botanique, mais on a profité des activités offertes et de la délicieuse nourriture.

Nous avons fait l’activité d’observation des baleines et de la visite de la chute. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un guide extraordinaire et passionné! Esteban, spécialiste des baleines, a fait de cette expérience une des plus belles de notre vie! Il est clair dans ses explications, charismatique, il s’exprime bien en anglais, il est calme et attentionné. Il a bien su s’adapter aux besoins de notre groupe. Merci encore!

Nous sommes aussi allés faire une randonnée de 2 heures en forêt avec un guide local, Antonio. Malgré le fait qu’il ne parlait qu’espagnol, il arrivait à bien nous faire comprendre ce qu’il voulait nous montrer. On a pu prendre des crabes et même une tarentule!

C’est vraiment un coin à découvrir et les gens sont accueillants.
