For anyone who does not have the time to see all of Colombia's diverse regions, or for those who just want to escape the bustle and mayhem of downtown Bogotá, a trip to the Jardin Botanico should be high up on the list of things to do. Wide lawns and snaking pathways lead the visitor through the flora that adorns Colombia. Throughout the year various exhibitions are held, the most popular being the butterfly house that attracts hundreds of visitors and schoolchildren every day.

Getting There
Your best bet is to catch a taxi. It should set you back about $4.
