Your experience begins with pickup from your accommodation between 11:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. You`ll enjoy a safe and comfortable transfer to one of Bogotá`s most impressive natural oases.
Upon arrival at the José Celestino Mutis Botanical Garden, founded in 1955 and dedicated to the conservation of Andean and Amazonian flora, you`ll be greeted by your local bilingual guide, who will accompany you throughout the tour, sharing stories, curiosities, and secrets from every corner of the garden.
You`ll walk along paths full of life, aromas, and colors. You`ll discover the Andean rainforest, the palm garden, and the rose path, while learning about native species, botanical rituals, and sustainable practices that make the garden an example of conservation and environmental education.
You`ll delve into urban gardens and crops, where you`ll see how ancestral knowledge surrounding sustainable agriculture flourishes and how the city coexists harmoniously with nature. Every step will be an opportunity to reconnect with the environment and appreciate the biodiversity that makes Colombia unique.
The tour will take you to the Tropicario, the heart of the botanical garden, a controlled ecosystem where nature reveals itself in all its power. Here you will explore extreme climates such as the páramo, the desert, the tropical rainforest, and mangroves. Each section is a tribute to life and an invitation to marvel at the diversity of our planet.
At the end, you`ll enjoy refreshments at a local café within the garden, ideal for resting and savoring a moment of tranquility before returning to your accommodation. Please note that this is not lunch, but rather a light break to complete the experience.
The tour has a total duration of approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from your pickup. Remember that the garden is outdoors, so if it rains, it`s important to have appropriate clothing to fully enjoy your visit.
