An historical place where Brazilian Royal family - Orleans e Bragança - did one of its best. There are many plants, of all sizes and from all habitats, I prefer those carnivorous (insectivorous) ones. You must be there to see yourselves how beautiful they are. Your children will love spending a day there on a picnic! A place for relaxing and appreciating Nature

I really enjoyed my time in the Jardim Botânico, as a solo traveler I can say I felt comfortable, staff is welcoming and accommodating, everyone is working so hard to keep this place as beautiful as it is. Please take your time to take in all the flora and fauna, it is a delight, another traveler recommended it, and I am glad I took the morning to explore it. The staff in the cafeteria is very friendly as well. I was so happy to see the monkeys, and the meliponario, where they have the bees. I recommend this place on a sunny day.

We came to visit this parque that was created in 1808 by the Prince of Portugal D. John. During all this time until today different plant species have been collected and planted in the "Plant Zoo". When you come in to pay ask for Paula Beatriz, sweet lady that will help you. Have fun

Really enjoyed escaping the crowds of Rio for this oasis. The Atlantic rain forest walk was my favorite. Amazing tropical plants and nice orchid greenhouse and cactus garden. If you like gardens and are interested in plants, you will love it. If not you might find it a little boring.

We rented the 30 minute tour with golf cart and tour guide and it was fabulous! I would recommend doing that then if you wanted to take more time to just walk leisurely around you could do that. We were on a time crunch so we chose to do the quick visit and loved it! Our guide was great too. Truly Beautiful.

So glad we went here on our trip! There were times when it was hard to believe we were in such a big city! There was a lot to explore here and some fun benches to sit on so you can really take your time here. My husband and I both agreed that it was our favorite thing we did in Rio! We went in the middle of the day (it was a heatwave) and it wasn't too busy. Walked from Ipanema and then ubered to Christ the Redeemer after. Was really lovely.

Great day out. Lovely gardens, shady and well planned. Excellent to walk to. Cheap to get to from Copacabana by Uber. 30 Brazilian. Monkeys, parrots, birds, insects, cactuses and orchids. Humming birds and giant Lilypads. Would definitely recommend and half price for over 60’s

Lovely gardens. Pleasant walks and some interesting fauna and flora. Well worth a visit if you have half a day to spare. Plenty of weird and wonderful plants, many of which those from cooler climates will recognise as cultivated house plants, Make sure you take cash - cards not accepted and its around £12/$15 pp to enter.

I first participated in a guided tour at the museum (in front of the garden). It was worth it because I was able to learn about important historical facts about the garden. After the guided tour at the museum, I went to see the garden. It is an excellent place to relax with the biodiversity that exists in this place. In addition to the beautiful gardens, I was able to see very different birds, including toucans. I was positively surprised by everything I saw here. I highly recommend it!

We arrived at 4:15 so only had 45 mins to explore but it was well worth going in. Lovely and relaxing to stroll around. Special mention for the giant lily pads. Cash only at the entrance we used.
