Jardín Botánico de Caridad
Jardín Botánico Las Hermanas Caridad y Carmen Miranda
A private garden run by the Miranda sisters for nearly a century, at the northern entrance of town. It has tropical fruit trees, orchids and doll-head decorations, and guests can taste seasonal fruit for free.
This private botanical garden was established in the 1930s by the sisters Caridad and Carmen Miranda and is now looked after by their descendants. The small garden is densely planted with mango, custard apple, avocado, cacao and coffee trees, along with a variety of orchids and ginger-family plants. Dolls' heads and other small ornaments hang from the trees, giving the place a peculiar atmosphere. The family will guide you through and offer seasonal fruit to taste. A voluntary donation, generally US$1–3, is customary at the end. It is on Calle Salvador Cisneros at the northern entrance of town and within walking distance.
