The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden or Jardim Botânico is marvelous! This botanical paradise awes its visitors with more than 6,000 indigenous and exotic species of flora. The serene garden hosts everything from orchids to jasmine-mango heliconias. The gardens were originally created in 1808 by Regent Prince D. João to acclimatize spices from other regions, and since its debut to the public in 1822, the verdant sanctuary has become a haven for locals and tourists; Albert Einstein even dropped in!
