The experience
The Joaquin Antonio Uribe Botanical Garden spreads across roughly 14 hectares in the Aranjuez sector, protecting hundreds of plant species, a lagoon, and free-roaming iguanas. Its centerpiece is the Orquideorama, an award-winning honeycomb of wooden flower-tree canopies sheltering orchids and butterflies. Entry is free, and it sits steps from the Universidad metro station.
A free, shaded green refuge in the heart of the city, crowned by the striking Orquideorama canopy.
