Jardim Botânico de São Paulo

The garden extends across 360,000 square meters, containing 3,000 plant species and several ecosystems including tropical forests, wetlands, and native vegetation.

Founded in 1928 by naturalist Frederico Carlos Hoehne, the garden started with an orchid collection and received official recognition as a botanical institution in 1938.

The Botanical Museum within the garden presents specimens of Brazilian flora, plant products, and educational exhibits representing São Paulo state ecosystems.

The garden operates daily with admission fees, offering guided tours, research facilities, and educational programs through the Botanical Institute's library of 6,400 books.

The garden preserves the springs of Ipiranga Creek, a water source that supplied the neighborhood before the garden's establishment.
