About
Calm, green and refreshing, the city's botanical garden, situated inside the immense Parque Estadual Fontes do Ipiranga (PEFI) on the south side of town, provides a beautifully appointed sanctuary for thousands of tropical plant and animal species. The garden opened in 1938 to preserve part of the remaining Atlantic coastal forest, and it functions as a research facility focusing on Brazilian flora and fauna. The garden also shelters the source of the Rio Ipiranga, which figures heavily into national patriotic lore.

The botanical gardens is really nice experience. While it is lush with green, using the free app allows you to fully experience the diversity. We saw plenty of flowers and loads of monkeys. We also enjoyed the cactus garden.

Poorly maintained and not many flowers. Essentially a trail with trees, a forest, a pond. No animal sightings. No english

Accustomed to botanical gardens elsewhere - it is more a park with elements of gardens than a botanical garden.
The ticket price is 25 at the entrance, and 20 when buying online. Attraction is paid, but there are still some shortcomings, such as missing or damaged information plates, greenhouse 1 out of 2 unavailable, 'witch's house' unavailable. At the end of October - very few flowers, I hardly saw animals either.
Nevertheless, I spent a nice time here, at least 3 hours - first walking around the whole area and then a small picnic on the grass.
Apparently paid parking (I came with Uber, so I can't confirm). Bus stop right at the entrance
Is it worth recommending? Well, apart from the 3 flowers, nothing surprised me here. I saw similar vegetation in Ibirapuera Park, which is closer and free. The whole place looks nice, but needs some work for a paid attraction.

Ota quite relaxing the cintact with the nature.
Can be a good option to take a walk here or bring a book, some snacks and chill out among the nature.
The tocket price is R$10. You may take two hours if you just pass by, without really stop and relax.

Even if it not easily accessible by metro and public transportation, it is worth the visit. You forget this chaotic city as soon as you enter the botanical garden. You do not hear the surrounding noise of the city.
You can walk on asphalted road or non asphalted ones and enjoy a large variety of vegetation.
There is a very good self-service restaurant inside the park, much better than what you would expect in a place where you have no option to chose.

Very peaceful setting with lots of trails winding through the wooded areas. It feels like you’re walking through the Amazon jungle—you may even spy howler monkeys or sloths in the trees!

Reading the reviews on Tripadvisor, I hoped to see an armadillo here, and maybe a sloth. Agoutis, monkeys, lizzards would be a bonus to me. At first I was disappointed. Having made my way through three quarters of the park I hadn't seen any of these animals. But then I saw some monkeys, and then a different monkey species, and then howler monkeys announced themselves with their typical sound. They were a bit off the tourist path, but could just be seen. After food around 15.00, I went for another round, and saw the three types of monkeys again, the highlight being the howler monkeys at the far end of the park, at the trilha da Nascente. This time they were right next to the path, up in some high trees.
The greenhouses have some interesting exhibits, such as the skeleton of a maned wolf, and eggs of the 'ema'-bird, a Brazilian walking bird, like a small ostrich or emu.

This botanical gardens were hands down my favorite place that I’ve visited in São Paulo! First off, it’s incredibly affordable to get in. Second, the further you walk into the gardens, the more breathtaking it gets. There are tons of park benches where you can take a seat and soak it all in. I spent a good amount of time just sitting and watching the turtles swim around in a pond. Bring your lunch and a good book and enjoy a wonderful afternoon surrounded by beauty. I’ll definitely be coming back before I leave.

Diante de avaliações negativas, desejo saber se eu posso fotografar o Jardim com minha câmera, sem precisar pagar, para fazer isso.

Sim. Você pode usar sua câmera sem fins comerciais. Para fazer fotos de noiva, por exemplo, você precisará de autorização. Mas para tirar fotos de paisagens ou de sua família, sem o objetivo lucrativo ou comercial, você poderá fazer tranquilamente.
De qualquer forma sugiro avisar na portaria, caso sua câmera seja profissional. Assim você evitará abordagens dos seguranças.

Gostaria de saber se a caminhada é tranquila para uma idosa fazer. Aproximadamente quantos quilômetros de percurso para conhecer os principais pontos do parque? É possível fazer piquenique?
Jayme Borges
Sao Paulo, SP
Olá, Ana. O passeio é viável, mas é preciso ter cautela, pois o chão pode estar escorregadio por conta da umidade... também pode ter o problema de ser meio "cascalho".
Sobre o picnic, o Jardim autoriza picnic simples (até 20 pessoas), sem decoração, mesas, cadeiras, música, e qualquer coisa que venha a importunar os outros visitantes. Existem alguns quiosques pelo Jardim, pode-se usar os gramados, desde que não haja sinalização proibindo acesso. Eles têm, também, algumas mesas e bancos disponíveis. Não é permitido jogar bola, andar de bicicleta, nem subir nas árvores ou nadar nos lagos; não são permitidas churrasqueiras ou fogueiras; e não há vendas dos ingressos com antecedência.
Nesse caso, não precisa de autorização, nem agendamento mas também não se faz reserva de lugar, basta chegar cedo e zelar pela ordem e limpeza do local.
Encontros fora dessas regras (acima de 20 pessoas) devem ser agendados e estão sujeitos à cobrança de taxas estipuladas no Regulamento para Eventos, fotos e filmagens do local.
