Quito Botanical Garden
Quito, Ecuador, Ecuador
The Quito Botanical Garden, or Jardín Botánico de Quito, is a compact but rich botanical space of about 1.8 to 1.9 hectares inside the larger Parque La Carolina in the heart of Quito, Ecuador.
Opened in 1989 on the site of an old municipal nursery, it presents a variety of Ecuadorian plant ecosystems, including Andean, cloud‑forest, páramo, and xerophytic landscapes, as well as themed gardens with native and exotic species.
A major highlight is its orchid houses, which together hold one of the largest and most diverse orchid collections in the Americas, with around 2,000 specimens reflecting Ecuador’s status as a global orchid hotspot.
The garden also functions as a conservation and environmental‑education center, offering guided tours, talks, and accessible paths for visitors of all ages, and it is easily reached by public transport from the city’s Metro station Carolina.
