The Jardim Botânico de Curitiba, in Portuguese, or the Botanical Garden of Curitiba, in English, is a park located in the city of Curitiba, the capital of the state of Paraná, and the biggest city in southern Brazil. It is the major tourist attraction of the city, and it houses part of the campus of the Federal University of Paraná.

Opened in 1991, Curitiba's trademark botanical garden was created in the style of French gardens. Once inside  you will see extensive gardens in the French style in the midst of fountains, waterfalls and lakes, and the main greenhouse of 458 square meters, which shelters in its interior, plants characteristic of tropical regions.
