The Santa Cruz Botanical Gardens are located 8 km outside of the city on the road to Cotoca, easily accesible by public transportation. While there are manicured gardens as the name would suggest, there are also plenty of trails through the larger wooded areas as well as a lake. Be prepared for mosquitos and take along any food and drink you will need, as there are no food sales within the Gardens.
