Interesting history of the garden. So, in 1943, the Spaniard Thomas Felipe Camacho decided to create a beautiful garden in honor of his daughter who died in childbirth. He was an expert and lover of orchids. Thomas Camacho chose a hill with fertile land in the foothills of the Sierra del Rosario ridge and planted a huge number of orchids and various plants. Shortly after, Thomas’s wife died. In order not to go crazy with grief, the Spaniard completely goes to work on the improvement of the garden. Within a few years, the park became the largest botanical garden in Latin America, and after the death of its owner, it became a national heritage.
