Jardín Botánico Martín Cárdenas, Botanical garden in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Jardín Botánico Martín Cárdenas is a botanical garden in Cochabamba featuring specialized sections for cacti, bromeliads, amaryllis, and an arboretum with both native and introduced tree species. The grounds are organized into distinct thematic areas that display different plant types and ecological zones.

The garden was founded in 1962 and named after botanist Martín Cárdenas Hermosa, who established the Faculty of Biology at Universidad Mayor de San Simón. Its creation reflected the university's commitment to advancing botanical research and education.

The garden is named after Martín Cárdenas Hermosa, the Cochabamba-born botanist who founded the Faculty of Biology at the Universidad Mayor de San Simón and served as its rector for two terms. His former house on the grounds has been converted into a museum, and the herbarium holds about 25,000 specimens, most of them collected by him.

The garden lies in the eastern part of Cochabamba, and its postal address is Casilla 538. The grounds are divided into an arboretum, a cactarium, a herbarium and the house of Martín Cárdenas, now a museum, so plan the visit section by section. The herbarium holds 25,000 specimens and is a working research collection rather than a display hall.

The herbarium holds 25,000 specimens representing 15,000 species, most of them collected by Martín Cárdenas himself during his field work. His former house on the grounds has been converted into a museum.
