To the right, a tree with history

Past the gate, just to the right, you will find one of the most extraordinary trees in the Garden: A metrosideros planted in the late 19th century.

Along the trail to the Yellow Stream

You will find a bright coral red Erythrina, mythical Dragon Trees, and a magnificent set of seven London plane trees that are eighty years old. 

Along the trail to the Yellow Stream

While on the bridge, a phenomenon and a treasure

The gaze falls on the giant Santa Cruz Water Lilies for their literal and metaphorical grandeur. Then it drifts to the opposite bank to a white Bird of Paradise of unusual dimensions.  

While on the bridge, a phenomenon and a treasure

We cross the bridge and enter the splendor of Parque Terra Nostra.


 

We are transported to Botania Hall, the seed of the expressive growth of this location. Around it, we can see the neighboring Araucaria and the illustrious Quercus robur or English oak, legendary species from times past but very present in our Garden.

On to the Lower or Upper Trails

Whether strolling along the lower path, next to the Garden waters, or ascending the upper one, guiding you to the must-see gardens and woods, the brilliance of the experience lies not only in the captivating scenery but also in the interplay of shadows cast by your body, mind, and the very path beneath your feet, offering a tapestry of diverse textures and tones.
