FIELDTRIP: Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro

When you travel abroad, are you eager to see all of the exotic plants that you’ve never even heard of before? In any new place, the best way to see as many as possible is to find a local botanical garden - and if you’re ever in Rio, Brasil, you’d be remiss to pass up the chance to visit the Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro.

These botanical gardens are prime opportunities to see tropical species all in one beautiful place. They have something for everyone - from native trees to numerous unique orchid breeds.
