With the arrival of the flower season, the Tourism News Agency highlights places that are true nature and knowledge refuges across the country’s five regions.
Spring has arrived, and with it, the colors and scents that transform Brazil’s landscapes. The season, which officially begins this Monday (22/09), reinforces the invitation to connect with one of our greatest riches: Brazilian flora.
To celebrate the period, the Tourism News Agency has compiled a list of Botanical Gardens spread across the five regions of the country. These destinations offer leisure, festivals, and stunning scenery, while also playing a fundamental role in biodiversity conservation and environmental education.
