Description

Your adventure in the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden will begin at the main entrance, where you will be greeted by the exuberance of nature. The first thing that will capture your attention will be the Plaza de los Cedros, a majestic space surrounded by imposing trees that will welcome you to this green sanctuary. Here, you will be able to admire the architecture of the place and feel the tranquility that emanates from the environment. Next, we will enter the fascinating Tropicarium, the Garden's most recent jewel. Here, you will be immersed in Colombia's diverse tropical ecosystems, from the exuberance of the rainforests with their orchids and bromeliads, to the warmth of the dry forests. The air will be charged with humidity and the scent of fertile soil will envelop you as you observe inland waterfalls and plant species that you would normally only see in remote regions. It is a multi-sensory experience that will transport you to different climates without leaving Bogota. Next, the tour will take us to explore the Andean and Páramo Plant Collection. This space is crucial to understanding the water richness and biodiversity of our region. Here, the diversity will surprise you. You will learn how these páramo ecosystems are true 'water factories,' fundamental for the water supply of Bogotá and a large part of the country, and you will understand the fragility of their balance. You will feel how the temperature can vary slightly and you will appreciate the resilience of the high mountain flora that sustains the highlands.
