Jardín botánico La Manigua

Jardín botánico La Manigua is a botanical garden in Colombia with living collections of native plant species from the region. The garden displays Andean forest environments and desert gardens, each dedicated to showing different aspects of local biodiversity.

The garden was established to preserve Colombia's plant diversity and support botanical research. Over time, it developed into an important center for plant conservation through its herbarium JAUM, which continues to serve researchers and conservation efforts.

The garden serves as a place to learn about native plants and their connection to the local ecosystem. Visitors can observe how different species coexist and discover their roles in the natural world around them.

The garden is accessible on foot with marked trails through different plant areas. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and come prepared for local weather conditions, as the plants and landscapes change with the seasons.

The Butterfly House contains several local butterfly species in their natural habitat within the garden. Visitors can observe their flight patterns, feeding habits, and social behaviors up close without barriers.
