A Visit to the 'Secret Garden' in Mazatlán

MAZATLÁN, Mexico, March 30, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Some of the most wonderful treasures of Mazatlán are not widely known, according to El Cid Vacations Club. For one thing, the island features some of the world's best gardens; and the semi-secret spots are perfect for downtime or secluded relaxation. In addition, they are open to the public and cost nothing to visit.

The gardens of Amaitlan are located on Isla de las Piedras, also known as Stone Island. Featuring winding stone pathways and ample opportunities for sitting down and enjoying the view, the secret gardens of Amaitlan are well designed and of course are popular with the scores of egrets that roam Mazatlán's skies. The centerpiece of the entire garden network is a large pond.

Covering about five acres of lush ground that includes several different botanical variants, visitors to Amaitlan can focus on bird-watching, peaceful contemplation, identifying the multitude of plant species, or gazing out at the pond and watching the world go by. The team at El Cid Vacations Club says that the "secret gardens" are a smart way to spend an hour or an entire afternoon while in Mazatlán. They recommend that anyone who wants to see the area in its full glory should go in late afternoon or in the mid-morning hours.

In old town Mazatlán there is a ferry located near Plaza Machado which is the most efficient way to get to the Amaitlan gardens. It is easy enough to catch a ride with any of the pulmonia taxis from anywhere in Mazatlán and get to the ferry for the trip to Stone Island, according to El Cid Vacations Club. There is a nominal cost for the ferry ride itself.

Locals as well as visitors venture to the island for all sorts of fun and relaxation. On Stone Island, either before or after visiting the gardens, one can try out any of the dozen or so palm-shaded, beachfront restaurants. These eateries are mom-and-pop places that are known locally for their tasty, fresh seafood. El Cid Vacations Club notes that the ceviche, lobster, and fresh fish of any kind are the specialties of these beachside bistros.

When visiting the gardens of Amaitlan, visitors should remember to bring binoculars and a camera in order to see all the hidden splendor of the secret garden, and to perhaps capture a picture or two of its rare beauty.
