Jardim Botanico.






Rio's botanical gardens are at the foot of one of the city's mountains. On one side, the boundary casually merges into the lush rainforest that climbs the adjacent slopes. Christ looks down from above. 

The climate here is consistently hot and humid such that bromeliads, mosses and orchids grow plant on top of plant, on top of plant. It's a quite lovely spot.
