Jardín Botánico de Medellín

I’ve been visiting Medellín for almost a week. It’s an amazing city but very intense sometimes. I felt I needed to “touch grass” so went to the Jardin Botánico soon after it opened at 9am. It is beyond beautiful! All of the different regions of Colombia are represented with their flora. There is a huge variety, which are all identified with bilingual signage. It’s a wonderful and relaxing way to spend a few hours!

Loved it here. I enjoyed the cleanliness of the air and the lush greenery. They have a great variety of plants that they also sell. They have small guided tour availability throughout the day or you czn explore on yourself. They also have a restaurant, library, free wifi and restrooms available. Entry is free but you do have to have some form of identification on you. The place is easy to reach by taxi.

Free entrance, just need to bring a ID to registration. Park is big and beautiful. Its clean and security is present. Plenty of open space and shade. Outside of the park you can find street vendors selling fruits, and on weekends some attractions for kids to play.

The garden has a good amount of space and areas to walk around. There isn't much interesting flowers but did spot a could of parrots and butterflies. There is also a small library to work from here, a restaurant, and a garden store to buy plants and garden materials. All in all it was OK but other botanical gardens I've visited have greenhouses or other interesting things. Here was sort of meh.

Amazing place! Beautiful gardens, wildlife and lovely staff! Free entry too. They need a donation box, we wanted to leave more.

Worth the visit, especially if you enjoy walking in nature. So peaceful and beautiful. Also, free entry!

I had a wonderful time visiting the botanical garden in Medellín. It’s free to enter, but you have to bring your ID. For international tourist that means just bringing a copy of your passport. I went twice during my month stay here. It’s really lovely and it feels like a safe place just to walk around by myself and take pictures of plants.

Medellin is one huge garden. However, if you enjoy walking among plants and flowers, then this is a must visit. The entrance is free. You must show your ID to get in. Take a lunch and sit under a tree and breathe in the surroundings. The pond has lots of fish and turtles. On Sundays they offer free yoga classes under the canopy.
