Walking Meditation at Garza Blanca Preserve in Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta is a haven for vacationers any time of the year, offering a host of hearty experiences and amazing ways to spend your days. However, Tafer’s Garza Blanca Preserve has something extra special for those in search of unique wellness-inspired experiences: its Walking Meditation route known as the ZenWalk.

The grounds of the Garza Blanca Preserve are home to a unique ZenWalk, which can be enjoyed as a walking meditation while staying at either Garza Blanca Resort or Hotel Mousai. The ZenWalk is made up of sculptures and statues collected by the preserve’s owner-director on his travels that have been placed around the grounds to allow for the most beneficial circulation of energy as well as your enjoyment.

The lush, tropical gardens of the Garza Blanca Preserve are home to hundreds of species of birds and plants as well as the statues. Some of these statues are very easy to find, like those at the pools or along the pathways to the Hotel Mousai and BocaDos STK restaurant, but some are much harder to find and are located further into the landscape of the preserve. To participate in the ZenWalk, you do not need to visit all of the statues but there is a mini guide for you to follow which details a route, the locations of all the statues and a brief description of them.

How does a walking meditation work? Well, as the name implies, a walking meditation involves using the act of walking and the regulation of breathing to become more acutely aware of the elements of the world around you and of your senses. By tuning into the world, its sights, sounds and smells, you can move further along your path to inner peace, and come away with a gentler and more contented outlook. The Zen Walk also has benches placed at various places along the pathway where you can rest and contemplate the meaning of each sculpture.

The Walking Meditation is just one of the many ways that you can get in touch with your inner being while staying at Hotel Mousai or Garza Blanca Resort. You can also enjoy yoga classes, visit the botanical garden, take some time out at Spa Imagine or lounge in a hammock on your private balcony. Each June you will also have the chance to join the yearly wellness retreat, June Wellness which offers a host of specialized workshops, additional yoga and meditation classes as well as a tailored program of events throughout the whole month.
