    The space is a large green area with 54 hectares, where more than 7,000 specimens of more than 2,500 different species live. The place is beautiful, from any corner it is possible to take good photos, some even take the Redeemer Christ in the background. Not to mention that there you will find several greenhouses, trails, historical monuments and beautiful lakes. Look at the victory regia that scandal 😍 We bought the ticket on time. In guarita only accepted payment in kind, but there is an option to pay online, via pix or card, through a link. An extra tip is to take repellent and go with time, as the space is large and very beautiful. When we visited we only had 1 hour there, but we recommend from 2h to 3h for those who like roles in nature!
