The not so botanical gardens


I need to confess. I'm usually a pretty good navigator, but I did manage to get lost in Rio. One morning, while on a hunt to find the Botanical Gardens in Rio, I managed to get off on the wrong bus stop and get myself in the middle of a jungle garden. Thing is, I totally thought I was in the right place. Wasn't until I left & saw the ACTUAL botanical gardens, that I knew how wrong I was. But, let me ask you this... Do they have Pirana's in the real botanical gardens??? Yeah that's right, my garden did...
Turns out, my fake botanical garden had an aquarium built into a tree trunk, a bat cave complete with stalagmites and bats, as well as monkeys, gorgeous brazilians, jungle lakes and a ancient ruins. Take that real botanical gardens- what have you got to offer?
