Bosque Rodrigues Alves
Bosque Rodrigues Alves – Jardim Botânico da Amazônia
A patch of original Amazon rainforest preserved within the city, with shaded trails, artificial grottoes and small wildlife, like a miniature tropical forest.
This roughly 15-hectare forest was designated a protected area in 1883. It was modeled on the Bois de Boulogne in Paris and still preserves many original large trees. The park has shaded paths, artificial waterfalls and grottoes, small lakes and wrought-iron gazebos, and you may spot porcupines, monkeys and turtles. Admission is very cheap, and the park is closed on Mondays. It lies in the east of the city, about 20 minutes by taxi.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun about 08:00–17:00
