Botanical garden

The Botanical Garden, located in Caracas, is perhaps the most beautiful and rich in all of South America. Here you can see wide squares and boulevards, decorative palm trees and cacti, lawns and flower beds.

The Botanical Garden was established in 1944 by Professor Tobias Lsser. It is located on 70 hectares, ten of which are divided into clear zones, and the rest grow tropical rainforest. Several dozen species of ferns and orchids grow almost at arm’s length. And what did not fit in the alleys, moved to a covered room, thus creating something like a huge herbarium.

There are approximately 2,500 species of plants that belong to 200 botanical families. Half of them can be found in Venezuela, the rest were brought from Asia, Latin America and Africa. The local tropical rainforest is home to rich fauna. It should also be noted that in the garden there are valuable medical plants used in everyday life and in pharmacology.
