Enjoyed a day out at the botanical garden. Bought tickets on the day though waited as the office opens at 11am but you’re allowed to wait around at seating area. The Garden cafe onsite was a great place to enjoy a nice lunch whether a light bite or full meal with Brazilian food menu options available. You can get a visitors guide/ map to navigate around the garden.

Such an amazing and beautiful place. If you're a visiting foreigner it costs about $75 R. They only take cash, or you can buy a ticket online. The gardens are so beautiful. Give yourself at least 3 hours to fully explore everything. They have plants from all over the world. You will also see wildlife like monkeys and toucans.

Safe and interesting gardens to explore. We’ll define paths through the gardens - great for seeing birds and small monkeys.
Only Brazilian nationals can purchase tickets online, all other visitors need to buy at the entrance. Toilets available through the entrance.
