Jardim Botânico de Brasília

The Jardim Botânico de Brasília spreads across a large area with walking trails that pass through collections of native and introduced plants from different regions. The grounds are organized into distinct sections that represent various plant communities and ecosystems.

The garden opened in 1985 and became an important research center for plant conservation in the capital city. Its founding reflected the city's growth and the nation's commitment to protecting its plant diversity.

The garden preserves medicinal plants that Brazilian communities have used for generations, and visitors can learn how these plants remain part of local knowledge and daily life. Walking through these sections shows how people connect with nature through traditional plant use.

The garden is open from sunrise to sunset, and an information center near the main entrance provides orientation and guidance. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring water, as the trails are extensive and often exposed to sun.

The garden contains ponds and water features that serve as habitats for native wildlife and attract many bird species. These water areas make it a good spot for observing birds during a visit.
