The Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro
Located north of the beautiful residential areas of Ipanema and Leblon, this place captivated me from the start.

Apart from the typical bustle of a super active city like Rio de Janeiro, the Botanical Garden offers you a break to observe nature and relax, no matter if you are not interested in knowing the flora and its strange scientific names, I assure you that you will greatly enjoy this beautiful place.
As I read, the origin of this Botanical Garden dates from 1808, and was commissioned by the ruling prince at that time in Brazil: Dom Joâo.
The Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro has a huge collection of plants that exceed 8 thousand species, in addition to some animals such as monkeys and fish that live in their spaces. It also has a biological, bibliographic and museological collection.

In the lake of the water lilies there are also fish ...

While walking through the place I found trees of all sizes, and without a doubt this was the largest, so I decided to take a picture with him.
