National Botanical Garden

The National Botanical Garden, located in the Chilean city of Viña del Mar, can rightly be called huge. It covers an area of more than sixty hectares on the outskirts of the city. Thanks to the botanical garden, the city is often called the garden city.

In the garden grow more than 3000 species of plants, both exotic and local. Here you can see the laparezia - the national flower of the country, which is a perennial liana with oval leaves and bright crimson flowers that pollinate the world's smallest hummingbird birds. Also, visitors to the National Botanical Garden in Viña del Mar will definitely pay attention to such plants as the insectivorous woolen, the shrub Oxalis with yellow small flowers, reaching a height of up to 2 meters and unusual for European varieties of violets with large blue flowers.
