Bosque Rodrigues Alves is a 15‑hectare fragment of Amazonian forest preserved in the heart of Belém. It offers dense native vegetation, shaded pathways, small lakes, and wooden bridges that evoke the region’s natural igarapés. Visitors often encounter local wildlife such as birds, monkeys, and sloths moving freely among the trees. Founded in 1883, it stands as one of Brazil’s oldest and most traditional zoobotanical gardens.
Today it serves as a calm, immersive green refuge amid the busy urban landscape of Avenida Almirante Barroso.
