• 

Noted for its collection of over 6,500 plants from all over the globe, historic Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro also houses Brazil’s largest botanical library. Distributed over an area of 54 hectares (133 acres) and utilizing several large greenhouses, the garden’s collection shelters many endangered and threatened species. The site also includes an important research center and an impressive collection of some of Brazil’s rarest plants. Located at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, right below the right arm of the Christ the Redeemer statue, the garden is one of UNESCO’s protected biosphere reserves. Stop by to see over 140 species of bids, many of which have become accustomed to humans and are much easier to observe than in the wild.

  The Jardim Botanico of Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1808 by Dom João as a garden for acclimatization of vegetable species originating from other parts of the world. And a wonderful place to stroll, being an ecological reserve or Ecologico Sanctuario. And a quiet and serene place and is a great place to contemplate nature, sheltering various animals like birds and turtles. It has an electric trolley that takes the regulators from the entrance to the Orchidario (over 60 years old, handicapped and pregnant) and the back. The value of the entry revolves around R $15.00 (whole) and R $7.50 (half entry). Well worth a visit!

  I you have a spare couple of hours worth a visit but nothing that interesting there. Get a taxi it is further to walk from the beaches than you think.  more »

  Huge! Good price for what you get. Easy to get to on a bus or “surface metro”. We saw a ton of monkeys!!!!! That was the best. Nice bromeliads. Cool amazonian trees. Wish there were more orchids though

  Probably the most beautiful park in Rio. Not ideal for children since there's a lot of walking, so they'll most likely get bored and tired. The kids playground is laughable - for the 15 reais you pay when you enter Jardim Botânico , you'd expect something much better. Overall, a good place to spend the afternoon with your significant one and take some photos.
