This place is utterly amazing! Before coming to Colombia, I spent three weeks, traveling across Costa Rica, paying a fortune to enter national parks and this place has more incredible plants, flowers, trees and wildlife than a few places that cost more than $30 to enter... and it's completely free to enter! Well done Medellin! I can't rate this place highly enough. It's not very big, yet I spent hours here, wandering slowly, being amazed everywhere I went. It's a real work of art and I'd like to congratulate all involved in it's production and upkeep. There are plans and flowers here that I didn't see in a number of primary and secondary rainforests and beautiful tropical gardens in Costa Rica. And then there are many types of butterflies and small birds here too. And enormous iguanas, slowly waddling around, enjoying snacking on the grass and fallen mangos under the mango trees. There are also tortoises, turtles, squirrels, and a range of ducks and ducklings. It's a really peaceful place to be and many people sit around under the trees, or on the many provided benches, relaxing, or eating lunch. It's hard to believe that it's in the middle of a really busy city, although the traffic can still be heard from time to time. It's a great place to spend a quiet morning or afternoon. Again, a really great job, Medellin. There's also a butterfly enclosure, which you have to buy a ticket to enter. I didn't have time, so I can't tell you the price, but I'm sure it's not too much. It seems as though the sessions are 20 minutes each, so you have to be patient and wait until the previous one is over before you can enter. You can buy your tickets at the main entrance. There's also a restaurant and a separate cafe there too, or you can just bring your own food and drinks. I also saw a number of smaller vendors, selling overpriced (luxury) ice cream (whatever that is), so you won't go hungry if you have some cash. One thing that I noticed when I left is that I had been bitten several times by some mysterious insect(s), so I would recommend that you wear some insect repellent when you visit. And the final tip is to make sure you have plenty of space on your camera or smart phone, because you'll most likely want to take loads of photos when you're there, as you can see I did... and I've only shared some of the photos and videos that I took. 😂😅
