Montevideo Botanical Garden — Attraction in Montevideo

Delightful park/botanic garden for walking and just enjoying being outside in a beautiful environment. There are paved and compacted earth paths that are navigable by wheelchairs, rollators and strollers. Plenty of seating and bathrooms on site.

As the City of Montevideo continues to density and develop, parks and other public open spaces become even more precious and critical to the health of the inhabitants. Most people do not appreciate the amount of resources - human, financial, even political - required to maintain and improve municipal park systems. The well known parks of Montevideo were designed and built generations ago when civic ambition and activism came together with experts in botany, landscape design, and politicians willing to build the public realm (even as the country was still of modest means).

Sumergite en un oasis de biodiversidad en pleno corazón de Montevideo. Descubrí la riqueza de la flora local y global en cada rincón de este santuario verde.

Lo que más me gusta de este jardín es la combinación de distintos estilos paisajísticos, combinando fuentes y esculturas estilo francés, con apliques de azulejos y muchos espejos de agua que recuerdan al carácter andaluz.

Fundado en 1902 y originalmente diseñado por el paisajista francés Carlos Racine, este jardín es resultado del trabajo apasionado de Atilio Lombardo y Carlos Morosini, quienes soñaron con un espacio donde la naturaleza y la educación se fusionaran.

Entre los principales sectores te recomiendo visitar:

👉Jardín de Rosas

👉Invernadero con plantas tropicales y exóticas de diferentes partes de mundo
