Introduction

The Curitiba Botanical Garden is the postcard of this southern Brazilian city, built around a French-classical glass greenhouse whose white cast-iron frame and fountain gardens evoke Versailles. Beyond the greenhouse, formal French parterres shift with the seasons in lush colour, the city's most photogenic corner. As the green symbol of eco-model Curitiba, it is free, well-pathed and ideal for morning runs, picnics and family visits, often starring on the city's postcards. The adjacent botany institute opens science exhibits on protecting rare Atlantic-rainforest species.
