“Beautiful, Interesting, Forest Hike”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2012

“Don't miss this easy hike!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 July 2012

“A natural oaisis in an urban environment”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

I highly recommend a visit to Moxviquil during any amount of time spent in San Cristobal. The grounds are incredible, and rescued epiphytes and created wetlands are certainly worth supporting. The plant diversity is inspiring, outside and within the greenhouse. We visited Moxviquil for an afternoon – had a picnic, a fantastic tour of the facility, and then hiked the... More
