Jardin Botanico de la Universidad Central de Venezuela

Back in March, I visited Venezuela and my mom wanted to take me to the beautiful Botanical Garden that is located in Universidad Central de Venezuela. It is one of the oldest Universities in Venezuela and the western hemisphere. Founded in 1721.

The University has beautiful architectural design and also a lot of green gardens. Beside being a place that is ideological and brewing place for democratic protests, the University has a beautiful garden that is right in the middle of the busy city of Caracas.

The moment you enter, you can feel the fresh air, hear the birds and if you get closer to the edge of the park, for sure you will hear the cars from the highways.

You get all this in one place. :)

I did really love this walk in the park. You can see kids with teachers learning about plants and nature, yoga classes, ladies walking, athletes practicing, and more. It is open for any one.

Until next time.
