Nature-protecting viewers, welcome to A Journey through Aesthetic Realms on Supreme Master Television. Monica (f): Hi, we are speaking here from the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, and we’ll tell you a little bit about the history of the park. Monica (f): The park area today comprises 137 hectares, and the area we have for visitors is 55 [hectares].
HOST: Located at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, below the right arm of the magnificent statue Christ the Redeemer, the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro is a protected National Historical and Artistic Heritage, and a designated Biosphere Reserve of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In the early 19th century, Prince Dom Juan VI of Portugal arrived with seedlings of spices from Asia and the Caribbeans, and thus founded the Botanical Garden.
The park hence became so famous that Brazilian Emperors Dom Pedro I and Dom Pedro II were its frequent visitors. |
