What to expect

Jardim Botânico de São Paulo

The Botanical Garden is one of Brazil's most respected botanical gardens, set inside the Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga, a protected Atlantic Forest reserve in São Paulo's southern zone. It operates as a space for conservation, scientific research, and public connection with nature, and is a member of the Botanic Gardens Conservation International network.
