Every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am to 12 noon, there are Natural History Tours at the Botanical Garden. The tour is in English and costs 150 pesos for the general public and 100 pesos for members. These guided tours take visitors to the most interesting points in the conservation area, led by a trained guide. Private tours are also available by appointment. While much of San Miguel’s beauty is man-made, El Charco del Ingenio stands out for its natural aesthetic. This botanical garden, spanning over 170 acres in an ecological preserve, offers opportunities to observe wildlife, walk along greenery-lined trails, and learn about local cacti species. The San Miguel community often gathers here for performances, ceremonies, and environmental education programs. Travelers recommend hiking through the park, picnicking by the waterfalls, or attending a concert in the outdoor amphitheater. Located just a mile northeast of central San Miguel, El Charco del Ingenio can be reached on foot (
