Japanese Bridge at Botanical Garden, RIO DE JANEIRO (RJ)

Not far from Ipanema Beach, along the Lake of Rodrigo Freitas, is the Jardim Botânico, the Botanical Garden. A must-see in Rio. The garden has the size of 137 hectares, of which 54 hectares is cultivated. More than tree thousand cataloged plant species are located there.
The garden was created by the Portuguese king Dom João VI, not long after his arrival in Brazil in 1808. He and his family had to leave Portugal when Napoleon was about to invade his country. Brazil was transformed from a colony to one of the kingdoms of the Portuguese empire. At the time of the creation, the garden was called ‘Horto Real’, the Royal Garden.
Striking and impressive are the two columns of majestic imperial palm trees, that have become the symbol of the garden. The Botanical Garden is widely known for the collections of orchids, bromelias, cacti, roses. One of the most visited locations is the Japanese Garden, created in 1935. In 1995, the garden was renovated and inaugurated by a daughter of the Japanese emperor. The garden contains cherry trees, bonsai trees, bamboo, and a pond with koi fish.
