Had I known before, I would have visited the Bogotá Botanical Garden on one of my previous visits to this capital. It's truly fascinating and lush! Located in the western part of the city, this garden offers a natural respite from the urban environment. In my opinion, one of its most important aspects is that it houses an impressive collection of native plants from the different thermal zones of the country. So, in its greenhouses you can see species from the Amazon, the paramos and other Colombian regions. In addition, it is a center for scientific research in botany and ecology. This space collaborates with universities and environmental organizations to protect biodiversity. If you ever traveled to Bogotá, if I were you, I wouldn't miss it.

I'll be right with you...
