Explore the peaceful 350-acre garden, which lies in the heart of the bustling city at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain – way below the right arm of Christ the Redeemer. Home to more than 8,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants, it’s also alive with free-roaming wildlife such as monkeys, birds and butterflies. Walk along the trails past waterfalls and over streams to the sounds of native birds, such as the curios and the sabiás. Visit collections of giant lily pads, orchids, insectivorous plants, and more. And admire the 750-metre-long line of royal palm trees at the entrance.
