Cali Botanical Garden
Jardín Botánico de Cali
A tropical dry-forest botanical garden in the Cali River valley to the west of the city, with a suspension bridge, a bird-watching tower, and forest trails.
The Cali Botanical Garden sits in the Cali River valley along the road to the coast. It protects precious tropical dry forest and riverside forest. Trails wind through bamboo groves, orchid areas, and a butterfly garden. There is a suspension bridge and an observation tower, and you can often see squirrels, monkeys, and hummingbirds. Visits must be guided and take about 1.5 hours. The garden is about 2 km from the zoo, so the two can be visited on the same day. Wear running shoes and bring insect repellent.
