Jardín botánico de Lima

Jardín botánico de Lima, Botanical garden in Lima District, Peru.

The Jardín Botánico de Plantas Medicinales de Lima is run by CENSI, the National Centre for Intercultural Health of the Instituto Nacional de Salud, and has two sites: one on Avenida Salaverry, block 8, beside the MINSA building in Jesús María, and one at Avenida Defensores del Morro 2268 in Chorrillos. It holds over 300 species, mostly native to Peru, grown so the public can see the main medicinal plants in their original botanical form.

The garden is run by the Centro Nacional de Salud Intercultural (CENSI) of the Instituto Nacional de Salud, Peru's national health institute. It has two sites: one on Av. Salaverry block 8, next to the MINSA building in Jesús María, and another at Av. Defensores del Morro 2268 in Chorrillos. The sources record no founding date or university origin.

The garden displays traditional Peruvian healing plants and connects modern scientific knowledge with indigenous botanical understanding. Visitors experience how these plants remain important in local traditions through educational exhibits and programs.

The garden sits in central Lima and opens daily with guided tours available to visitors. Pathways are clearly marked and plant labels provide information for independent exploration of the grounds.
