About
Jardin Botanico de Rio Piedras Para la Naturaleza is a nature preserve in Rio Piedras managed by Para la Naturaleza, next to the UPR Botanical Garden. It feels wilder and more natural than the university garden, with dense tropical vegetation, walking trails, and native wildlife, including endemic birds. Admission is free, and it is a good birding stop for families who want a calm outdoor break.
Pair it with the UPR garden for 2 to 3 hours of tropical nature.
