About
Fatos rápidos: You can stroll beneath towering palms and breathe in the damp, green perfume of rain-soaked soil, glasshouses and orchid blooms creating distinct pockets of scent. Morning light and local joggers give the shaded paths a lively pulse, while quiet corners host students sketching leaves and snapping macro photos.
Destaques: Step into the humid glasshouse and the air changes to warm, vanilla-sweet notes, orchids and bromeliads releasing scents that seem almost edible at noon. A beloved camellia, rumored to be over 100 years old, drops pale petals after heavy rain so thick they carpet the paths in soft pink for hours, a sight locals quietly celebrate.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for gravel paths and occasional muddy patches.
- Bring a hat and sunscreen in summer because shade is limited along some trails.
- Arrive at opening on weekday mornings for the best light and quieter paths, ideal for birdwatching and photos.
- Focus on the greenhouse and pond areas for the most photogenic plant displays, skip the busiest picnic lawns on weekends if you want peace.
