Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, Brazil

Nestled in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's Jardim Botânico district, the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden is a verdant oasis steeped in history and natural splendour. Conceived in 1808 under the patronage of King John VI of Portugal this sprawling 140-hectare park is located at the base of the Corcovado Mountain, under the benevolent gaze of Christ the Redeemer.

Step through its gates, and you're transported into a world brimming with over 6,000 species of tropical and subtropical flora, including a staggering array of 900 palm tree varieties. One of its most iconic features, the Avenue of Imperial Palm Trees, is a testament to the garden's timeless allure. Stretching 750 metres, this grand pathway is flanked by 134 regal palm trees, some reaching towering heights of up to 40 metres. Each of these majestic giants traces its lineage back to a single progenitor, the Palma Mater. Walk further and you will witness the Fountain of Muses.
