The lovely National Botanical Gardens on Mt. Isabel de Torres offer locals and visitors a serene and beautiful environment for getting back to nature and learning about the amazing variety of tropical plants endemic to the Dominican Republic. The gardens cover a very large area of over 200 acres, and there is a network of paths and trails for walking and running. If you are not in the mood for exercise you can board the mini-train that takes you on a guided tour of the gardens. You’ll learn all about the various habitats and plants, including orchids, palms, bromeliads, and many more. There is also a very lovely Japanese Garden (which many consider to be the highlight of their visit) and a Butterfly Garden.
