Must visit place in Curitiba, best of all it is free! (Se você estiver visitando a cidade de…read moreCuritiba, deveria visitar este jardim botânico - é gratuito) I had the opportunity to visit Curitiba back in May, and I knew to come visit the Botanical Gardens. The structure of the building is well known throughout Brazil. The structure does not house many plants inside, but it was cool to see things growing (and thriving!) inside. Outside the structure there were many hedge shapes similar to what you'd expect in a European garden. Very beautiful! While the structure is somewhat small, the grounds of the botanical gardens are quite large, so it's worth strolling the different paths to learn more about... Plants! Especially those native to Brazil. There's a restaurant near the front of the entrance which serves "por quilo" food (food that is weighed, based on how much you eat). They had a pretty good feijoada here. In the back part of the gardens, there's a lake area. In the lake area, there is a large building, which is where vendors are selling their local goods, including handicrafts and plants. I purchased some handmade capivara plushies (Portuguese spelling of capybara) as souvenirs here. The Botanical Gardens are worth a visit if you're in Curitiba! Vem, vem (come, come)!

I will do all I can to attempt to visit this garden once again.

What a cool park to walk around after a hard days work! Bicycle, walking, and running paths make…read morethis park appealing for keeping invigorated and healthy. The geese and the capybara are fun attractions.
