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)!

in my short 4 day visit to this incredible town of Curitiba I managed to realize that Brazil can be…read moremore than just Rio de Janeiro, his town has taught me that perhaps there is a hope for this beautiful county. on our touristy day we visited this garden that is said to be the post card of the town, after my short visit I can safely said that with reason this is the post cart. the gardens are grand with great amounts of vegetation and a very interesting maze that leads all visitors to the majestic green house, the well known green house. as we drove there we saw all the people walking and playing around the maze and coming in and out of the green house. there are plenty of beautiful flowers all along the way, the decoration and the view of the gardens is very imperial and classy. sadly when we got there a very heavy rain started to fall so we had to quickly evade, but we managed to get somewhat close enough to witness the beauty of the gardens. I will do all I can to attempt to visit this garden once again.
