A visit to the Jardín Botánico (Botanical Gardens) is an interesting jaunt, and it's free! The gardens serve as a laboratory and study hall for the students and alumni of the Estación Experimental Agrícola de Puerto Rico (Experimental Agricultural Station of Puerto Rico). Here you will find an enormous variety of tropicals, flowering plants, palms and exotic trees. The gardens have become a natural habitat for a multitude of bird and of animal species making for a refreshing retreat from the hustle of the city itself.
