Jardim Botânico by myriam_c
This garden is a beautiful range of colors on varioius levels. In fact there are a few dozens of small gardens in one large garden setting. A huge collection of cactus and succulents, but also trimmed English-like gardens, many varieties of orchids. And there's a beautiful view on the canyon of Ribeira de João Gomes.Adjacent to the Jardim Botânico, and with the same entrance ticket, you can visit the Jardim dos Loiros (parrot garden) that has a big collection of parrots, macaws, parakeets, etc. The birds are in cages, and the cages are not really big. So if you don't like birds in cages you better don't go.
