    The Botanical Garden

    Posted by MdoCarmo 11 December 2007

    As a former Rio de Janeiro resident (from 1983 to 1992) I suggest one of the most beautiful and also peaceful and quiet places in Rio: JardimBotânico (the Botanical Garden). From the garden you have a magnificent view from the Tijuca’sNational Park Atlantic Forest and The Christ (CristoRedentor) with His open arms blessing such a wonderful city. It is a place where you spend hours admiring local and international plant species.
    JardimBotanicoalso invites us to have some meditation: it’s great!

    A wonderful place to be considered when visiting Rio: it's worth it!
