in addition to this, the garden has many leisure activities to keep guests busy, as well as education sites, to help improve the understanding of the work conducted on the site.

one of the biggest draws of the jardim botânico is its intoxicating array of exotic flora and fauna, with colorful species from all over the world.

included in this tropical display are over eight thousand species of plants and flowers, with over 600 species of orchids and an estimated 1,700 species of bromeliads, whilst the symbol of the park is the royal palm, which is housed within.

there is also a rich biodiversity of tropical fauna, which can often be found in the gardens - this is a result of regeneration of forests surrounding the gardens, which have allowed many species to use the gardens to conduct their daily routines.
