Botanical garden
Mata do Buraquinho, Joao Pessoa, State of Paraiba
Description:
The Botanical Garden is located in the heart of João Pesoa. It is one of the largest forest areas in the world located in the city.
On the territory of 515 hectares there are several significant sites illustrating the life of the natural world of Brazil. The relict Atlantic forest, under state protection, is represented in João Pesoa in all its diversity.
To get on an excursion to the botanical garden, you need to register in advance and inform about your desire. A visit to the reserve is possible only with a guide. It is also worth remembering that there are hiking trails inside the park, but they are quite complex, and you should count on a difficult journey.
The Botanical Garden is not a zoo located to the north. It is a reserve that lives by strict rules, the main purpose of which is to preserve the nature of the Atlantic forest.
