Viveplants Orchideary
A paradise for plant and orchid lovers
Located in Manzanillo, Colima, Viveplants Orchid Nursery is a floral paradise and the largest orchid producer in Mexico. Hosting over 100 species and responsible for producing roughly seven out of every ten orchids sold nationally, it is a flagship of sustainable cultivation with over 18 years of expertise.
Visitors can take a guided 45-minute tour through the nursery, exploring stations that showcase the orchid lifecycle—from potted plant cultivation to cut flower production—and learn the fascinating story behind the enterprise. The sensory-rich experience features species ranging from common to exotic hybrids developed through advanced breeding programs.
A highlight is the chance to be personally guided by founder Fidel Maza, whose expertise brings a unique depth to the tour. At the end, guests can purchase orchids, floral arrangements, orchid-resin jewelry, specialty Mexican coffee, and other themed souvenirs.
Perfect for solo travelers, couples, families, or school groups, Viveplants offers a memorable blend of education and floral beauty. It’s a vibrant, colorful escape for botanical tourism on Colima’s coast.
