    The Botanical Garden of Santiago is located north of the city and represents the main green space of the Municipality of Santiago. It bears the name of the distinguished late professor Eugenio de Jesus Marcano Fondeur whose work is acclaimed worldwide. The garden covers over 650,000 square meters within a perimeter wall and with permanent surveillance. There are more than 12km of bike and walking trails making it an excellent location for outdoor recreation. The garden also has an enviable collection of plants of different species making it a nature lover’s paradise. As it is easily accessible, find time while in Santiago and check it out. Trust me; it is worth it.

    This place is beautiful and huge. I recommend to go on weekends when the train is available. They can give you a tour throughout the whole park in it. There’s free parking, and free water on different parts of the park. There’s a great variety of plants and interesting stuff to look at. Also, bikes are available for renting everyday. If I’m not mistaken, I think it costs 200 pesos the hour. It’s honestly an amazing experience.

    Very nice park.... I'm not sure I would call it "Botanical Gardens". It's a great natural space right in the city.

    Is a good place to visit we your family, you walk and see the variety of plants and flowers they have, ride a rented bike. Go early. temperature was high the time I went. Bring water. I hope they continue giving the attention it's needs to keep it running. ******** And I hope they pay well to all those employees.

    Still needs a lot of work but it is a nice place to take the kids for bike rides. There’s bikes that need some fixing like breaks and stuff but other than that it is a beautiful place to spend the afternoon! I would recommend 🫶
