This national botanical garden in
Chile is only worth the visit, if you are in town.
It is located right
outside Valparaiso, in a huge valley. I visited in 2012.

It is mainly
dedicated to trees like these Chilean palm trees.; Jubaea chilensis

Some parts have endemic plants from
remote islands, requiring a special climate

The nursery was closed when I visited
the BG

The cacti house is large, and have
quite some cacti from around Chile



A few shallow lakes

The un-sheltered cacti bed


Pretty flowers have their area

A house for the humid-loving plants |
